Who will Ralf Rangnick pick? How will his Manchester United set up? How much pressing and structure will the XI have under the so-called “godfather of German foootball”? Tune in at 2pm on Sunday to Old Trafford to find out against a Crystal Palace side who went to the Etihad Stadium earlier this season and handed Manchester City a rare 2-0 lesson before their own fans. Rangnick has cautioned – correctly – that time is needed to fix the ailing United but time is the one commodity even an interim manager of the club is never granted by so many United supporters.
