Cristiano Ronaldo could be the difference for Manchester United after West Ham noticed what he did against them

Does Ronaldo start?

Jadon Sancho is subdued, Alejandro Garnacho is raw, Anthony Martial is injured and Anthony Elanga is not an obvious goalscoring threat. It would be logical to keep Cristiano Ronaldo in the United starting XI three days after his goalscoring return.

Yet it might also be an impressionable selection. United will encounter more physical and more intense opponents in West Ham and the serene evening against FC Sheriff is not a reliable gauge of individuals or the collective. They have played better with a fluid forward line.
