Manchester United has showcased a disappointing performance against Wolves in Premier League on Monday as they went on to lose the match 1-0 with João Moutinho scoring the winner at the 82nd minute of the game.
Man United players have faced a lot of criticism for not getting up to that level to cope up with playing style of the new German manager and now Ralf Rangnick has been accused of repeating a same mistake Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did, which led his dismissal.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani has not been effective striking duo according to Martin Keown
Football pundit and former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has said that playing Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani together as a front two striker is one of the worst decisions as Ronaldo plays much better in a 3 striker formatio playing solely from the middle or left.
Martin Keown said in Daily Mail, “Rangnick will be wondering if it is feasible to continue using Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani as twin strikers.”
“It feels as if he has been trying to accommodate both, but there aren’t many coaches who play with two upfront now. That’s a rarity in the modern game and this pair have a combined age of 70.”
“On either side of Ronaldo and Cavani, Rangnick has been using two young and exciting withdrawn wingers but they haven’t been effective enough with or without the ball. Sancho needs to be more direct, and so does Mason Greenwood.”
“I prefer a front three. Ronaldo could act as the single striker for United — he made good runs against Wolves but was ignored by a midfield who rarely looked for the guy who has scored more than 800 goals in his career.”
Ralf Rangnick’s team might undergo some changes with the January transfer window open as the German would love to bring in some young blood into the team as a result of which some players might make a move away from the club.
