You're not entirely wrong in what you're saying but they could move all day long, without any midfielder worth shouting about to feed them once they have made the runs it's entirely pointless. This in turn possibly stops them from making said runs as they know they aren't going to be receiving the ball. I think this is why Man United seem better against the better sides. Long ball by Maguire over the top bypassing the midfield allowing Rashford or Martial to run onto it on the counter.
From what I see of Man United which admittedly isn't a great deal as I have Nytol instead is more Rashford or Martial running with the ball blindly, running into trouble before being forced to pass it back to the midfield who in turn pass it sideways or backwards, or they'll just have a speculative shot or an individual piece of brilliance (Rashford more so as he's got skills)
I do feel it's the midfield that's the biggest problem which is why it boggles the mind that they might be about to spend huge money on Haaland.
That said, what do I know, I'm no OGS and he clearly seems to know what he's doing....
