MANCHESTER – Manchester United picked up victory over Crystal Palace in the match week 15 of the 2021-2022 Premier League on Sunday 5 December 2021 evening WIB. The 1-0 victory achieved by Man United was a good start for the interim coach of the Red Devils, Ralf Rangnick who has just made his debut.
Yes, the Man United vs Palace match at Old Trafford last night was indeed the first time Rangnick coached Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends. Rangnick also had to thank Fred for being the player who scored the winning goal for Man United.
Although it was only able to score one goal, in terms of the actual game, Man United really looked extraordinary. Several changes appear to be present in Rangnick’s Man United camp, so what’s different?
Here are 5 changes made by Ralf Rangnick in the Manchester United vs Crystal Palace match, quoting from the Mirror:
5. Fullback who helps the attack line
In the match against Palace, Rangnick decided to play Diogo Dalot and Alex Telles at fullback. However, in practice the two players look more like wing midfielders.
That way, the left and right sides of Man United are very lively in the match against Palace. Several times the opportunity was created by attacking from the opponent’s wing.
4. Man United appears very dominant
It has been a long time for Man United fans not to see their proud team have such a dominant performance at the Theater of Dreams. But against Palace, it all came back.
The Red Devils enjoyed 61% overall possession and were playing with new intensity, wanting to keep the ball as long as possible. Rangnick’s tactics also didn’t give Palace time to get their footing right in the game, they were limited to counter-attacks and set pieces.
