Ralf Rangnick can use Cristiano Ronaldo to unlock three new Manchester United tactics

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Ralf Rangnick may have unlocked a new dimension to Cristiano Ronaldo's game in the twilight of the forward's career. Turning 37 next month, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has faced criticism since his return to the Premier League, with question marks over his impact on the squad and his tactical flexibility.

Ronaldo again struggled to assert himself up front during a turgid display against West Ham, before Marcus Rashford netted deep into injury time to claim a crucial win over a top-four rival.

Rashford's late winner saw all three substitutes - Rashford, Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial - combine to send the Reds into the top four.

Whilst there was euphoria following the win, a West Ham analyst bemoaned: "Ronaldo in that pocket is killing us again" and it could prove a tactical masterstroke from Rangnick.
