Ronaldo acts up, Solskjaer’s pressure is greater

DBasia.news – Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a new problem amid the negative trend of his team. He now has to deal with the behavior of his new superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford ahead of the close of the transfer market last summer. His presence is expected to end Manchester United’s title drought.

Ronaldo certainly has the capacity to make that happen. Reputation as one of the world’s best footballers is the main capital.

Ronaldo proved to have immediately score two goals in his debut match against Newcastle United. He then scored three additional goals in the five games that followed.

But Ronaldo has also shown his ego several times. One of the highlights was his behavior when he gave instructions from the sidelines in the match against Young Boys in the Champions League.

Ronaldo’s latest behavior was seen when Manchester United were held by Everton 1-1, last weekend. He was seen leaving the field with a disappointed look as soon as the referee blew the long whistle.

For information, in the match Ronaldo appeared as a substitute. The look of disappointment he showed also raises a question.

Former Manchester United player, Gary Neville highlighted Ronaldo’s behavior. He thinks Solskjaer should be able to handle this problem well.

“He walked off the pitch muttering to himself, which begs the question what did he say? Who was he upset with?” Neville told Sky Sports.

“That behaviour would bring real pressure on the manager, more pressure than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has experienced before.”

Ronaldo’s figure is like a double-edged knife. His winning mentality is unquestionable, but his ego as a star also risks disrupting the harmony of the dressing room.

Solskjaer should be aware of the problem. This can hamper the pace of Manchester United if a solution is not found immediately.

“I think it’s something to manage in the next few months. Cristiano isn’t always going to score, he probably isn’t going to play every game.”

Interestingly, Neville still provides support to Solskjaer. He believes his former teammate can handle this problem well.

Ole has to be selfish and make sure he manages Cristiano in that way. He’s going to do it, moreover he’s managed Paul Pogba over the last few years pretty well.”
