Even though it was a dead rubber game, it was encouraging to see Rangnick willing to give minutes to exciting youngsters.
After all, it’s not as though United were cruising to a 3-0 victory when the substitutions were made and so it was still a brave decision.
Unfortunately for Rangnick he didn’t get many positives in regards to players performing in a way that would convince him to hand them more chances.
It’s clear the starting XI he chose vs Crystal Palace was largely the one he preferred and it’s likely he will choose them again on the weekend.
Only a few players performed well but even then it wouldn’t have been well enough to justify picking them over some better performers.
Mason Greenwood and Eric Bailly were the main positives, with Donny van de Beek doing ok, though he was at fault for Young Boys’ equaliser.
Time will tell what Rangnick’s settled XI is but he’s not been given a reason yet to make any drastic changes.
