I figured that they picked Ronaldo because, shockingly, he was the best of the ST's considering that Kane had an atrocious start. City & Pool didn't really play with a true CF, Lukaku sucked, etc... Truthfully, he might have been United's best player which is pretty sad considering he's 37/38.

I thought Son should have made it over Mane. I really rate Mane but even he played a lot of matches down the straight as that false 9, and played it pretty damn well IMO.

I wish they would go position-less for the front 3 and just pick 3 attackers. Son - Mane - Salah. Boom

Ronaldo was, predictably, United's top scorer, but he did nothing else to help the team, if that makes sense. Not that goals aren't important, ha. United's best player was De Gea I think, but it's not like there were a whole lot of other options.

Also, I saw a pretty interesting comparison of keepers of the "big 6" that I thought was interesting. I'm not sure if this same analysis was done across the league. A chart showing how many goals they were worth along with a link to a Twitter thread that talks about it:

What else do you want Ronaldo to do though? He scores goals and little else. You're def right about Da Gea. I forgot about him.

Point taken, he did do his job. The rest of the team outside of these two was an apathetic mess.
