Thanks for sharing ! Though I'm not a MU supporter, 2006-2009 Man.United played the most beautiful football I've ever seen (Barça's tiki-taka was great too but I prefer MU's style) and I'm also trying to reproduce it in FM.
I think it does make sense to put Ronaldo higher up the pitch. He still played as a classical winger in 2006-2007 but 2007-2008 was his first season as a goal scoring machine, so the Inside Forward (Attack) role, most of the time on the right, probably makes the most sense. The left-winger was generally Giggs or Nani, though Ronaldo had a free role and frequently switched positions with the left-winger as well as the 2 forwards, which is difficult to reproduce in FM. And the 2 forwards, Rooney and Tevez, had a lot of defensive responsibilities in order to cover up Ronaldo. So Rooney as a Shadow Striker - Attack (AMCL) and Tevez as a Defensive Forward - Support (STCR) would be my take.
