Official : Ralf Ragnick reveals new formation to change from 4-2-2-2 formation,with Paul pogba in his line up

 Ralf Ragnick has confirmed Manchester

 United have switched formation and 

will not play with a 4-2-2-2 system 

going forward.

Rangnick his favourite formation upon 

taking the interim job at United following

 the sacking of Ole Gunnar solksjaer 

The 63-year-old has used it at various

 different clubs in his career but it's 

not been a success in the early months 

at Old Trafford, where he has four 

wins, three draws and one loss in 

eight games.

United supporters have questioned the

 formation and its suitability, with the

 balance between attack and defence 

not being there and the team barely pressing.

Things were tweaked for the 2-2 draw

 against Aston Villa and Rangnick has 

confirmed he will now deploy a 

more fluid 4-3-3.

He made the admission when asked

 about Jesse Lingard's role ahead of 

the trip to Brentford.

"We have now decided to play a 4-

3-3 like we did against Aston Villa, 

with one holding six, two eights and three

 offensive players," Rangnick said, 

as per Metro.

"There are two positions that he can 

play but we also have some competition

 in those positions. Obviously, he needs to 

play and train on the kind of level that 

he is an option to start.

"We have a big squad, maybe a little bit 

too big of a squad. As far as I know, his 

contract is expiring in the summer and 

the question is what will happen after 

that four months. Again, he is a player 

who can play, I brought him on in the last

 10 minutes of the Villa game along with

 Donny van de Beek."

The change of system could spark an end

 to the Scott McTominay and Fred pivot,

 but a big beneficiary of the 4-3-3 and 

specifically, an attacking free, could be 

Jadon Sancho.

After a slow start following on from his

 £73 million switch from Borussia Dortmund

, Rangnick thinks he can thrive on either flank.

“It's clear in a 4-3-3 that he (Sancho) 

is a player for either of the wing positions

, either left or right, he can play both,

" Rangnick commented.

"I think he would prefer a little bit the 

left side, because then he can switch inside

 and shoot on goal with his strong right foot.

“But for me there's no questions about his

 position.

"He's a winger, as we say in Germany, 

someone who can dribble fast with the 

ball and for me there's not at all a question

 over the best possible position for him."

United play Brentford away on Wednesday

 night, with top scorer and talisman

 Cristiano Ronaldo set to return after 

missing the last two games.
