I faced Manchester United teams full of attacking talent. They’d have Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole starting up top, then suddenly Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be brought off the substitutes’ bench.
Sir Alex Ferguson had that array of options, an assembly of weaponry which enabled United to go after teams, and now Solskjaer has that, too.
He has got Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood, Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes.
Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United will give the team a lot of excitement
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now has the chance to change from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-3-3 system
That’s some list, and Ronaldo’s return will give the group such energy. He’s a serial winner, someone who will stop at nothing to emerge victorious, and that will rub off on everyone else.
With their long list of options, United can perhaps return to the all-attacking force they once were and meet all of Ronaldo’s needs. Solskjaer has mainly used a 4-2-3-1 formation with United, with two midfield sitters. But this is an opportunity for the manager to switch to a 4-3-3, which could potentially get the best out of this supremely talented group.
Solskjaer may see the signings of Ronaldo and Raphael Varane,
