The pressure is being ramped up on Ralf Rangnick after Manchester United's humiliating derby defeat to Man City at the weekend. The 4-1 loss at the Etihad Stadium served as another glaring reminder of just how far behind United are to their rivals, and how much work needs to be done before they can challenge for the Premier League again.
United also fell out of the top four at the weekend after Arsenal's win over Watford, while fellow challengers Tottenham made their own case with a 5-0 thrashing of Everton on Monday night. Next up for United is a home match with Spurs this weekend, and Rangnick knows he will need to get his tactics spot on for another defining moment in their season.
Team selection will be crucial once again, but just who should be in United's strongest XI at the moment based on current form? The Manchester Evening News take a look.
