Ronaldo set to return? How Man Utd could line up against Norwich

Ralf Rangnick will likely recall Cristiano Ronaldo to his starting XI ahead of Manchester United's clash with Norwich on Saturday

New Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick will be looking to continue his 100 percent record at the club with a convincing victory over Norwich on Saturday.

The Old Trafford side are still without a number of key players due to injury, but should be able to put out a side that can get the better of the Canaries at Carrow Road.

In defence, Rangnick is set to welcome David de Gea back between the posts after a brief break in midweek. In front of him, we’re likely to see Harry Maguire return in the middle of the pitch, alongside Victor Lindelof.

Luke Shaw will be expected to take up his usual role on the left, while Rangnick will likely stick with Diogo Dalot over Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the right flank for now.

The German manager’s tactics tend to see him stick with a midfield duo and that will most likely mean Scott McTominay and Fred will be tasked with getting the better of their Norwich counterparts in the middle of the pitch.

Just in front of them will be Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho in the two inside forward roles, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Mason Greenwood take up the front two positions.
