Ralf Rangnick finds Manchester United answer to Ralph Hasenhuttl jibe and can use it at Man City

Manchester United were abject in the last Manchester derby at Old Trafford back in November.

Manchester City ran out comfortable 2-0 winners and it seemed the only reason the score wasn't higher was that in the second half Pep Guardiola's side seemed to give up trying to score as they treated it like a training-ground exercise.

One of the major lost battles was down United's right-hand side. Phil Foden was deployed out wide and he was successful in isolating Aaron Wan-Bissaka one vs one.

This would ordinarily be where the right-back would thrive in personal duels but Guardiola was smart in making use of the space created to allow Joao Cancelo to overlap and create chances for City to score, which they did twice from that exact move. Ilkay Gundogan's movement into wide areas was another problem Wan-Bissaka did not need down that side.

Wan-Bissaka was completely outnumbered and left stranded by the move which wasn't his fault but it is something that Ralf Rangnick will need to solve to stop it from undermining them in the return fixture at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

In United's 1-1 draw with Southampton, Ralph Hassenhuttl may have helped point out the problem. In his post-match press conference, he said: "It's not a big secret that when they lose the ball the reverse gears are not the best from everyone."

And this was also clear against City last time out. United's forward line was isolated at the halfway line, not contributing anything to the attack but also not being present when the team needed to defend.

But Anthony Elanga may offer the solution to this particular dilemma.
