‘It just didn’t work’ – Rangnick’s Man Utd tactics questioned by Neville after he tinkers with lineup against Leicester

RALF RANGNICK’S failure to include a recognised striker for Mancheste United against Leicester has bemused Old Trafford legend Gary Neville.

And Nev questions whether Bruno Fernandes has the attributes to fill in as a ‘false nine’.

With Cristiano Ronaldo out ill, starlet Anthony Elanga began as the only ‘frontman’ in United’s line-up for Saturday’s crucial Premier League home clash.

Midfielder Fernandes and wideman Jadon Sancho are the other main attacking outlets.

And Nev told Sky Sports: “I’m not sure that Bruno is that type of player at all.

He’s more of a passer, he’s not a runner and we saw against Man City away it just didn’t work, so I’ll be interested to see how it goes.”
