In my opinion, United need to maintain an already solid formation, which is to hone their sharpness and cohesiveness to be more consistent in every game (and not rotate everything or only give Maguire a portion of playing time). I think Ronaldo needs more time on the pitch he loses form. The more he plays the more he will score goals
Ronaldo's performance at this time has started to be different and I think everyone should know that too (including you too) because he is no longer young and he will tire more easily if given a long playing time in every game. In fact, it would be better if Ronaldo did not play more time in each game because he can also have a good effect on the team in terms of outwitting his opponent at the start of the game.
I also agree, from what I can tell from watching Ronaldo's game, his good performance is hindered by his age. He doesn't have the same breath as before. He should change his style of playing, I think he can perform better if he plays short time instead of full time. In fact, it's sad to think that a player like him is having a bad day.
I realized Ronaldo's performance had declined even since Ronaldo played at Juventus, so I'm no longer surprised that Ronaldo is now no longer a starter and more on the bench. Also, regarding Maguire I wonder why Erik ten Hag still trusts him to play and even still gives his confidence as captain, even though it is very clear when Maguire is not on the field Manchester United's performance improves and can even get consecutive wins. Rotation was still necessary, but Erik ten Hag should have had a definite choice, meaning there was no need to try something that had already proven to be a failure.
Manu's loss has nothing to do with Ronaldo, no matter who you put on the striker, Manu could not win this match. However, Manu started the game well. Real Sociedad could not leave their own half field in the first half. I haven't seen anyone play good except for Kubo. Meanwhile, Ronaldo found 2-3 positions, but nobody talks about Ronaldo's head goal. Yes, it was narrowly offside, but the goal was very good and Ronaldo still has great stuff in him. Ronaldo got along well with Ole. Ole has not once fed Ronaldo to the media, but Hag is constantly talking about Ronaldo impromptu. Even for this game, starting Ronaldo 11 with Maguire is reason enough to bait Ronaldo.
The referee did not give Manu 2 penalties. Real Sociedad won on an unfair penalty. I thought Martinez's penalty position came back from VAR, I was surprised how Var gave a penalty. The refereeing was a disgrace.
