Manchester United’s hopes of a new dawn in their season came spectacularly crashing down to earth on Sunday, a meek Red Devils sinking to a 3-1<\/a> home defeat against Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton side. This Thursday, January 23, Ruben Amorim’s side will look to put things right against Glasgow Rangers, who themselves sit far behind their rivals (Celtic) domestically.

Manchester United Predicted Lineup for Battle of Britain Rangers Clash<\/h2>\n

How Manchester United Have Lined-up Recently<\/h3>\n

Since Amorim’s arrival in November, Manchester United have switched to a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Andr\u00e9 Onana the number-one choice goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

Matthijs de Ligt and L\u00e9ny Yoro<\/a> are regular starters in the three-man defence, with Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez competing for the other spot in recent fixtures.<\/p>\n

Noussair Mazraoui, Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot have rotated at wing-back, with Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte becoming the go-to pairing in centre midfield. Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho have rotated in the attacking midfield positions, with Joshua Zirkzee<\/a> and Rasmus Hojlund doing the same at centre-forward.<\/p>\n

Despite the optimism surrounding the new manager, the players look unfamiliar with his new tactical setup and it will take time for the Portuguese coach to implement his philosophy, surely to the detriment of a good number of players who haven’t been at the required level for several years.<\/p>\n
