Rangnick has also been boosted by the return of Scotland international Scott McTominay. The midfielder has missed United's last two games through illness.
Like Cavani, the Scot has trained all week ahead of the derby, strengthening Rangnick's options in midfield. However, unlike Cavani, he could be in contention to earn a starting
