If the midfield feeds more balls through and does it's job forwards will score more. Our current teams needed a Ronaldo because he needed to create on his own because the mid sucks
Spot on.
Looking at previous seasons under allegri when he had the fab 4 in midfield that created a lot of goals but they also scored a lot of goals. This has been our issue over the past few seasons also...once pirlo vidal and pogba left..we had limited goals from midfield in comparison.
Ronaldo's 100 goals have been handy especially when other forwards have been injured but more so because the current crop of midifleders haven't contributed enough in this area.
I would happily replace Ronaldo's 35 odd goals per season by sharing these across the like of dybala and morata for example...but the key moving forward is to share the load more in terms of goals.
Would be a fairytale like swap for both United and us to see ronaldo and pogba return. But again pogbas wage is something to think to about. Plus united want cash on top of the swap. I wouldn't mind if van de beek was looked at as well...younger and could imagine allegri developing him into star midfielder.
Ronaldo and rabiot for pogba and Van de beek...some cash may be involved...add locatelki in the mix and we have potential for a very good midfield.
