Asked whether it was a myth that the Portugal captain could fit into such a system, Carrick said: "You just said it is a myth. Maybe it is a myth.
"Maybe that is how it is, he’s played in enough teams over the years being successful to play in a variety of ways and kept scoring goals for every team.
"I’m sure he will continue to score goals, there is no doubt about that."
Following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal as United manager last month, Carrick started Ronaldo in the crucial Champions League group game with Villarreal, in which he opened the scoring. Against Chelsea at the weekend, Ronaldo was named as a substitute, coming on for Jadon Sancho in the second half.
Rangnick is yet to officially take charge of United as he awaits work permit clearance. Carrick, therefore, will again be responsible for picking the team as United welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Thursday evening.
United currently sit tenth in the Premier League, but a win would take them to within two points of Mikel Arteta's side.
