A new striker was necessary when Ronaldo came so it wasn't just a marketing decision. The chance came to get a top striker for a relatively low transfer fee but with high wages and they took it. The City link maybe forced their hand a little had Ronaldo been off anywhere else they might have just let that happen but once they realised he was interested in coming back I think everyone got very giddy and excited and approved the plan.
To me Donny was signed as a squad player and that's how he was used by Ole. He realised quite early on that he wasn't good enough to start so he didn't start him and every manager since has agreed with him on that. Donny's big reason for not playing was that when he did get on the pitch he contributed very little he didn't give the manager a reason to pick him.
Players in my opinion currently playing well at Utd based on their ability. Onana, Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Evans, Lindelof, Mainoo, Garnacho, McTominay, Hojlund.
