In Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Burnley, Cavani replaced Cristiano Ronaldo as Manchester United's starting center. The veteran Cristiano Ronaldo, who played 120 minutes four days ago and just celebrated his 37th birthday, sat on the bench. Rangnick explained that it was a tactical consideration rather than a physical reason, and he needed Cavani's scramble and running coverage in the frontcourt. To a certain extent, this also represents the embarrassment of Ronaldo’s positioning in Manchester United. Ronaldo has only scored 2 goals in the more than ten games that Rangnick coached Manchester United, and is currently experiencing the longest goal drought since 2010.

However, it's not just Ronaldo's problem. Manchester United's 1-1 draw at Burnley was the sixth game of Rangnick's 433 formation. Manchester United achieved 3 wins and 3 draws in regular time, scoring 8 goals and conceding 5 goals. . The 8 goals scored by Manchester United came from Fred, Bruno Fernandes, Pogba at No. 8, Rashford, Sancho and Elanga at the wing position, but there is no Manchester United center. Goal, and even Cavani has only had 3 shots in the past few starts.

This is not an accidental phenomenon, but a tactical requirement of Rangnick. When he just took over Manchester United, Rangnick expressed his appreciation for Cavani. The Manchester Evening News once reported: Rangnick believes that Cavani is the only Manchester United player who can defend between the two penalty areas, and then A forward who rushes into the opponent's penalty area to grab a point. This fully explains Rangnick's positioning for Manchester United's center: a certain coverage rate is required. However, the wide range of running coverage is precisely the weakness of the 37-year-old Ronaldo.

Manchester United does not have a pure winger. Manchester United's wing players cannot help Manchester United to form width. The crowding in the middle makes the forward insertion function of the center very weak. On the contrary, the two No. 8 players have more space for rib impact. , This is the reason why Manchester United under Rangnick can repeatedly use Pogba, Fred and Bruno to score goals. Manchester United's center needs to retreat to take away the defense and let the midfielder or winger enter the penalty area.

No matter from the perspective of any tactical configuration and player matching, Manchester United no longer needs the 37-year-old veteran to attack the city for Manchester United. What Manchester United need is a center who can cover a wide range and can drop the ball, and only the 34-year-old veteran Cavani can do this in the Manchester United team.

"Manchester Evening News" believes that whether Manchester United can renew Cavani in the summer, Manchester United needs to introduce a young center player, especially when Greenwood has been unable to represent Manchester United. Introducing a young, covered center will be much simpler and easier than considering how to maximize Ronaldo's offensive ability.

Since Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has started 16 league games for Manchester United, with only 3 substitute appearances and 1 rest, which is not the game time a 37-year-old should have. But Manchester United could not let the 37-year-old striker sit on the bench as a substitute, not only because of Ronaldo's £500,000 weekly salary, but also because of Ronaldo's unparalleled appeal. Therefore, cab사이트 predicts that Manchester United and Ronaldo should need a decent parting farewell.
