5 former Manchester United players Ralf Rangnick would have wanted in his current squad

#3 Ryan Giggs

Blackburn Rovers vs Manchester United - Premier League

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs, under Rangnick's tutelage, would have been an ideal player. The Welshman cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players in United's rich history during his 24-year tenure.

A prominent figure in the esteemed Class of '92, Giggs racked up a mammoth tally of 963 appearances for United, scoring 164 goals and providing 251 assists. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary midfielder helped the club win the Premier League title a record 13 times.

Giggs was an influential and pivotal player for Manchester United, renowned for his versatility. The relentless nature of the Welshman on the flanks is exactly how Rangnick wants his players to operate.

Giggs was a midfielder, winger and leader - all rolled into one - which would have made him an important player under Rangnick.

#2 Roy Keane

Manchester United's Roy Keane would have been the undisputed leader under Rangnick.

Any manager would have loved someone like Roy Keane to lead their side, and Ralf Rangnick is no exception. The former Manchester United captain was revered for his aggression, courage and no-nonsense attitude on the pitch.

In addition to his strong personality, Keane was a born leader and a terrific defensive midfielder. After arriving at the club in 1993, the Irishman etched his name in Premier League history, helping his club win seven league titles.

With Manchester United's current captain Harry Maguire struggling to make an impact, Keane would have been the perfect player for Rangnick. However, Keane's penchant for controversy would have made him a double-edged sword for Rangnick.

#1 Paul Scholes

Manchester United vs Bolton Wanderers - Premier League

Paul Scholes was another one-club player like Giggs, who donned Manchester United's famous red kit for twenty years. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, the midfielder helped The Red Devils conquer England and Europe, amassing a whopping 27 trophies in his illustrious career.

In over 700 appearances across competitions for the club, Scholes racked up 152 goals and 74 assists. Blessed with supreme accuracy, he was spot-on with his passes and long-range shots. The Englishman was revered by his peers for his incredible impact from midfield.

Scholes' loyalty, determination and hard work would have made Rangnick fall in love with the player, which was exactly the case with Sir Alex Ferguson.
