Right winger - Jadon Sancho
Jadon Sancho has been impressive for Manchester United in recent weeks. He has been whipping in some delicious crosses from the right flank. The Englishman's link-up play and understanding with his teammates have improved.
He has been getting into dangerous positions in and around the final third and has been a handful to deal with for defenders thanks to his quick feet and electric pace. Sancho will be asked to improve his contributions on the defensive side of things.
But Rangnick's arrival will be a welcome change for Sancho as well. The 21-year-old will learn a lot from one of the best tacticians in the game. Solskjaer once said that Sancho is a long-term investment as far as Manchester United are concerned. Coaches like Rangnick will ensure that such investments pay dividends.
Left-winger - Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford is another player who will be forced to improve the defensive side of his game. Rashford's pace will be crucial to Manchester United's new high-pressing system under Ralf Rangnick.
The 24-year-old is also at a juncture in his career where he needs to be trained by a tactically proficient coach. Rangnick will provide exactly that. Rashford has immense potential and is already one of the best wingers in the world. Rangnick's entry will make him more of a well-rounded forward.
Centre-forward - Edinson Cavani
Is this a bit unrealistic from where we're standing? Maybe. But Manchester United ought to have learnt by now that Cristiano Ronaldo is not helping them impose themselves on games. Ronaldo's lack of pressing uptop has been detrimental to the Red Devils so far.
Meanwhile, Edinson Cavani is a hard worker and gives it his all every time he is on the pitch. He is always chasing loose balls down and will fit Rangnick's system perfectly. The Uruguayan international will likely alternate with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rangnick will know how to deal with big egos and he will be expected to make decisions that ultimately help the team. This will be one such call.
What will Cristiano Ronaldo's role be?
Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to be used as an impact substitute. We know that at the age of 36, Ronaldo has to conserve his energy for big moments. Given that Cavani is 34-years-old, even he won't be able to play week in and week out.
As a result, Cavani is likely to remain the preferred striker with Ronaldo being brought on at the hour mark when he starts on the bench. On the odd day, Ronaldo will start games but he will need to start pressing because the system doesn't work even if one player decides not to.
