How can Manchester United effectively get the best out of Cristiano Ronaldo?

Manchester United Without Ronaldo?

Without a doubt, Ronaldo’s goals saved Manchester United from further blushes last term. But this season, the case is quite the opposite.

United look like a more composite side in his absence with all the players linking well off each other. The lack of a goalscoring focal point helps in bringing more players to contribute to United’s attack.

Formation: 4-3-3

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Marcus Rashford’s pace and agility upfront help in United’s preferred counter-attacking style. He has therefore been their main goalscorer and attacker going up front. Supplemented by Sancho’s and the midfield’s quality, United seem more at pace without the maverick Portuguese.
