December 07, (THEWILL) – Following promising signs during Manchester United’s latest Carrington training session, interim coach Ralf Rangnick may soon have more selection alternatives.
With top spot in Group F already secured, it was intriguing to observe which players were working out in front of the cameras in the frigid circumstances ahead of the visit of Swiss Super League side Young Boys for the UEFA Champions League fixture on Wednesday.
United’s new manager’s starting XI was unchanged from the one that beat Arsenal on Thursday night, as a 1-0 triumph over Crystal Palace made it two home wins in two days for Rangnick.
Luke Shaw did not play on Sunday as he recovered from a couple of head injuries, but he was out on the grass on Tuesday morning.
Jesse Lingard was another player who was ruled out of the match against the Eagles, but he was seen and will be hoping for a chance to play under the lights against our Swiss opponents.
Also, Raphael Varane and Edinson Cavani have been sidelined for extended periods of time, but they were both part of the training group and could be close to returning to first-team action.
With so many games on the horizon, having more players available will be extremely beneficial especially as the German begins to exert his philosophy on the team. After the European tie against Young Boys, the Red Devils travel to Norwich City on Saturday for a 6:30 pm game before playing at Brentford’s Community Stadium for the first time on Tuesday December 14 at 8:30 pm.
