Life without Ronaldo: How Man United Might line up next season
Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly encouraged Manchester United to take offers from other clubs if they come, according to a report by Sky Sports yesterday. This indicates that the Portuguese superstar is considering leaving the team he recently re-joined. Here is how Erik Ten Hag might position his guys if Ronaldo eventually leaves the team. Examine it below:
Formation
Erik Ten Hag could use the 4-3-3 system because it will fit the squad's present lineup.
Defence
In the center of the defense, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof should team up, with Diogo Dalot and newly acquired Malacia serving as the full-backs.
Midfield
As pivots, Fred and Donny Van De Beek should be used, with Bruno Fernandes remaining in the offensive midfield position.
Sancho and Elanga should support Attack Martial in the wings as he leads the attack from the front.
Below is an example of the potential lineup:

Chelsea ‘weighing up a sh0ck move for Cristiano Ronaldo’ after he told Man United he wants to leave this summer
Because of Cristiano Ronaldo's unclear future at Manchester United, Chelsea is considering making a play for him.
The 37-year-old Portuguese legend shocked United last week when he informed the team that he intended to leave if they received a fair offer for him this summer. He cited his concerns that the Red Devils are not developing quickly enough as his justification for his decision.
The Athletic also reported last month that Ronaldo's representative Jorge Mendes and the new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly met to discuss a move to Stamford Bridge.
According to reports, talks between the American tycoon and Mendes have continued, with Boehly and fellow director Behdad Eghbali eager to sign the former Real Madrid striker.
The head coach of Chelsea, Tuchel, has previously indicated a desire to work with Ronaldo and is a fan of the player.
Time will tell, but in my opinion it is no secret that any team without Cristiano [Ronaldo] is, at times, an inferior squad. Tuchel stated last year in a speech.
He is among the best players to ever play this sport, and each time he steps onto the field, he proves it.
They lost a significant champion, a significant point of reference, and a significant personality because [he is] now playing in the Premier League and the Champions League. But even without Cristiano Ronaldo, a team can succeed and be powerful. That is also accurate.
Due to family obligations, Ronaldo missed training on Monday. However, Sportsmail reported on Sunday that when he returns, he will speak with Erik ten Hag about his future.
