It'll and should be McFred in double pivot with pog left Bruno 10 and Sancho right with Ronnie up top.Thought about it a bit -
Lingard, James, Martial, Amad, in that order, need to be sold or loaned.
Think a 2-striker formation partnering with Greenwood will suit Ronaldo, it can't be a 4-4-2 for Bruno, so a diamond or 3-5-2. Which leaves a massive question about RWB and a big question mark over Sancho - he can *maybe* be shoehorned into the RCM position of a diamond?
Maybe change formations depending on personnel each game, lots of rotation? Not been Ole's style so far.
That will have all the same issues we have now. Also means no room for Cavani, Greenwood, Rashford.It'll and should be McFred in double pivot with pog left Bruno 10 and Sancho right with Ronnie up top.
We can't change the double pivot as of now and the rest can't all play at the same time it's rotation and a good problem to have. But as of now its our best front 6.That will have all the same issues we have now. Also means no room for Cavani, Greenwood, Rashford.
You'd be happy with Amad sold?Thought about it a bit -

Loaned. Don't see how he gets playing time now.You'd be happy with Amad sold?
What issues? One presumes a DM comes in before the end of the window - Lingard seems heading out - so can swap one of Fred/McTominay out (McFred together isn't too bad).That will have all the same issues we have now. Also means no room for Cavani, Greenwood, Rashford.
I don't follow much transfer news - is that likely at all? If there's someone capable of playing DM in a 2 with Pogba, that solves almost all issues.What issues? One presumes a DM comes in before the end of the window - Lingard seems heading out - so can swap one of Fred/McTominay out (McFred together isn't too bad).
Cavani is here for another 9 months. Not an issue for United if he doesn't play often.
Rashford can have plenty of game time if we're facing clubs intent on opening up - having Pogba switch to CM.
Greenwood can literally come on every game/rotate to replace Ronaldo/Sancho.
Not to mention, highly, highly unlikely Fernandes, Pogba, Ronaldo and Sancho are going to be fit all at the same time for even 80% of the games.
Isn’t registration already done and submitted? Im not sure changing numbers is possible at this stage.Just saw word James may go on loan…. #21 is worn by Cavani for Urg…. Hmmmm
The club would have to seek a special dispensation from the Premier League for a number change at this stage.Isn’t registration already done and submitted? Im not sure changing numbers is possible at this stage.
They won’t do it. I know it’s Ronaldo but the league isn’t going to make an exception for him.The club would have to seek a special dispensation from the Premier League for a number change at this stage.
It's never been granted before, but it's Ronaldo.
It depends on Cavani giving up the number/perhaps the club pushing for the CR7 branding(and Ronaldo himself pushing for it).
only allowed by special permission… requires PL approval.Isn’t registration already done and submitted? Im not sure changing numbers is possible at this stage.
I don't hold much store by the Italian league. It's always been an old folks home in recent years for players who lost their pace. But Juve didn't seem to think Ronnie was all that if some of the reports are to be believed.If you're asking these questions you clearly have no idea and need to go and watch Ronaldo from last season and the Euros.
Ligue 1 made an exception for Messi.They won’t do it. I know it’s Ronaldo but the league isn’t going to make an exception for him.
We have too many top attacking players now that we'll have trouble fitting them all in. So we definitely shouldn't sacrificing one to squeeze Lindelof into the team. 352 has never worked for us outside a few games.
Thank you brother! Hope to get the promotion after a couple of years here and being a United fan for 30 yearsYes @Sultan ! He deserves the like. Nice one.

Okay MikeLUHGHe'll probably play every minute of every game this season and be flogged to death by Ole, who doesnt know how to rest players. How many games were there when bruno should of come off or not played at all. Then he got to the euros and was a shell of himself and burnt out. All thanks to Ole.
At 36 he is still top scorer in Italy (beats Lukaku, Immobile etc) and Euro (beats Mbappe/Lewandoski/Lukaku/Kane etc). I think we all know we can’t judge Ronaldo in same way we judge normal players. 36 to Ronaldo is like 29 to others.Why is no-one worried about him being 36? Isn't he too old now? What am I missing? Yes I know he looks after himself but that won't stop him getting slower.
If you're good enough you're young enough.Why is no-one worried about him being 36? Isn't he too old now? What am I missing? Yes I know he looks after himself but that won't stop him getting slower.
Not to mention he had no support at Juve at timesAt 36 he is still top scorer in Italy (beats Lukaku, Immobile etc) and Euro (beats Mbappe/Lewandoski/Lukaku/Kane etc). I think we all know we can’t judge Ronaldo in same way we judge normal players. 36 to Ronaldo is like 29 to others.
Ronaldo at age 35-36:
- 36 goals in 44 games for Juventus
- 7 goals in 9 games for Portugal
- total 43 goals in 53 games overall
I mean, he literally scored 43 goals last season at top level, why need to worry so much about his scoring form this coming season? Would you worry about Haaland, Mbappe, Lewandoski scoring form this season too, if they joined us?
Don’t think so. Harry has been a good captain. He won’t be replaced. It will be like Rio playing in the same team as Keane. They are both captain material. One just leads without the armband.What about this, will he be Captain?
This actually isn't being emphasised enough. He's coming into a much better team. That wasn't the case 3-4 years ago, but as of 2021, United are a far better team with far better squad depth than Juventus. Will be feeding off service from Bruno, Pogba, Sancho and Shaw. What more could you ask for?Not to mention he had no support at Juve at times
I've just had flashbacks of Ruud's ACL injury the first time we tried to sign him.He’s not a United player yet. We need to stop making this mistake as we’re tempting fate. Wait until medical, personal terms and visa are agreed.
Second to flying carpets, just a shame we don't see those anymore.An e-scooter really is the best WUM vehicle
In Portugal. He apparently had a medical in Lisbon on Friday.Is he in England ? Or still in Portugal ?
I've been watching his videos of his time at Juve and Real. Must be honest, I've not really watched him play myself. I get annoyed at the thought of us losing him back when he was hitting his prime.Silly question but is he still fast? Haven't watched much of him at Juve.
He's not as fast as he was in 2009, but he's still fast.Silly question but is he still fast? Haven't watched much of him at Juve.
