United's best XI: De Gea Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw Sancho, Fernandes, Pogba, Rashford Ronaldo, Greenwood. This is what Uniteds best XI looked like at the end of the 2021/22 season as predicted by Football Manager 2022: Rangnick has a very strong profile in FM22, with his tactical attribute and ability to work with youngsters both judged at 20 out of 20, the highest possible rating.Īt the end of the 2021/22 season, Football Manager 2022 put together an overall best United XI, based on performances, statistics and other metrics. Widely regarded as one of the first-ever visionaries of Gegenpressing, the fast-paced, high-pushing tactic is the Germans preferred tactical style in a 4-4-2 formation different to the preferred 4-2-3-1 formation of Solskjaer. This is the 63-year-old's in-game profile on Football Manager 2022. To find out how Rangnick could perform, we arranged for the German to join United as manager after 12 Premier League games on Football Manager 2022 and simulated the remainder of the 2021/22 season with the German as United manager. So, if Rangnick does join United on a six-month contract, what would happen? Could he help put United's season back on track and guide them to a top-four finish? Rangnick is known for his stellar record in the transfer market, with the 63-year-old having signed Sadio Mane and Erling Haaland for RB Salzburg, as well as bringing Timo Werner from Frankfurt to RB Leipzig during his time as manager of the club in 2016. United have been searching for a new manager since Sunday after the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, putting an end to his three-year reign as manager.Ĭurrently, a deal has been struck between Rangnick and United but not with Lokomotiv Moscow, who only acquired the services of the 63-year-old in July this year. The Manchester Evening News understands that the deal between United and Rangnick will see him join the club on a six-month contract as manager and then remain at the club for two years beyond the end of the season in a consultancy role.
