Quite happy to see Ole talking about that prospect and I think having an actual striker who is both a work horse and exceptional in finding space and drawing defenders will do wonders for Ronaldo. The question is the rest of our shape.
Against sides who aren't well stacked in midfield we could maybe field Pogba or Bruno next to McTominay, but we'd hardly play them both?
I'd quite like something like
------------------------de Gea
AWB---------Varane---Maguire--------Shaw
-----------McTominay---Pogba/Bruno
Mason--------------------------------------Sancho
-------------Cavani----------Ronaldo
Ronaldo could of course be nominally played from the left, but he'd not be there as a creative outlet (not that anyone has had that role bar Pogba)
------------------------de Gea
AWB---------Varane---Maguire--------Shaw
----------McTominay---Pogba
Mason--------------Bruno----------Ronaldo
-----------------------Cavani
This would probably require Bruno to drop in more as an #8 and Pogba might be an #8 of sorts, but occupy the left side when Ronnie is more central. So the 433ish people were talking about in the summer.
See some people talk of a back 3 - who is the right wing back?
Can't wait to see those two in the same starting XI.
