Manchester United are scheduled to face reigning league champions Manchester City over the weekend. Coach Ralf Rangnick would be likely to field his best possible formation against lead leaders come this weekend.
United would be without Greenwood as his suspension still continues. The possible formations Manchester United could use against City are:
1. 4-3-3: United could field this formation knowing that Manchester United would likely want to spread the width of this match. Using players like Sterling, Bernardo, Mahrez to penetrate the wingback of Manchester. This could be averted by Wan bissaka , a more defensive option than Dalot going defensive.
2. 4-2-2-2: Rangnick could use his most preferred formation during the weekend. Using his RB and LB to roam about City's half when they're with the ball. It also assists Ronaldo upfront because he would see a lot of aerial balls he could convert.
3. 3-4-1-2: This is one tricky formation Manchester United could utilize going forward. Ralf Rangnick could use the three centreback pairing of Maguire, Varane and Lindelof in order to protect De Gea in goal, forcing Diogo and Sancho to protect the wings.
These are the possible formation Manchester United might use against Manchester City tomorrow afternoon
