Centre back Phil Jones may be the answer to Manchester United's problems in attack, joked fans online, after a clip emerged of his link-up play to score in training.
Ronaldo last month reportedly urged interim boss Ralf Rangnick to revert back to a system which provides him with a strike partner.
A lack of orthodox No 9 options has seen Rangnick persist with a 4-2-3-1 system but following a social media clip shared on Thursday, United fans were quick to jokingly propose the radical move to put Jones up top.
'That's Ronaldo's strike partner sorted then,' one fan wrote.
