Defensive midfielder - Fred
Even that section of the Manchester United fanbase that doesn't believe Fred should be starting every game is starting to recognize the situation for what it is. As things stand, Fred is their best bet in the sweeper role. The Brazilian international is the best presser in the side and that's something which will excite Ralf Rangnick.
Fred is the only Manchester United midfielder who relentlessly hounds opposition players. His presence makes it harder to play through Manchester United. Despite his shortcomings in the ball playing department, Fred is essential to this team.
Without him badgering opponents in midfield, the United backline gets exposed far too easily and their midfielders always seem to be playing catch-up.
Central midfielder - Donny van de Beek
Can Donny van de Beek excel in central midfield for Manchester United? Given that he is an Ajax academy product with tons of potential, there should be no question. Van de Beek has been handed a fresh lease of life following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's departure. The Dutchman will be raring to impress the new manager.
The 24-year-old is a tactically intelligent player who knows the art of exploiting space. This is a quality that Rangnick will try and teach all Manchester United players. But Van de Beek will have an advantage over the rest as he has played in a similar setup before at Ajax. He is likely to be a starter in Rangnick's setup.
Central midfielder - Bruno Fernandes
No matter who takes over at Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes will be a part of the starting lineup. Such is the quality of the Portuguese international. He is also a workhorse who will put in a shift every time he is out on the pitch. Fernandes is also a leader of men and is always ready to stand up and take responsibility.
He will be crucial to Rangnick's system at Manchester United. Fernandes takes risks but his vertical passing can be world-class at times. The German coach will rely on him to play balls through to his forwards. Fernandes will be given the freedom to roam forward.
A top quality player and individual, Rangnick will cherish having a character such as Fernandes on his side.
