Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo admitted to Morgan that he is fond of the old head coach of the red devils, who, according to the striker, needs more time at the helm.
What did Cristiano Ronaldo say?
In another excerpt from the infamous interview the Portuguese gave to Piers Morgan TV, the first part of which aired on Wednesday night, the Man Utd striker revealed that he loved his old head coach, whom he considers a good man. In sharp contrast to his scathing review of Rangnick’s time at Manchester, Cristiano Ronaldo defended Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s record and said he was delighted to have the chance to work with his former team-mate again.
The Portuguese striker has stated that he loves Solskjaer. Ronaldo thinks he was the best person because what he keeps in his heart is the heart of people. According to Cristiano Ronaldo, Solskjaer is the best person for him… It’s hard. It’s hard to take on the role after Sir Alex Ferguson, but the Portuguese thinks he’s done a good job for sure.
They need much more time. But Ronaldo never doubts that he will be a good coach in the future. But it was a good experience. Cristiano Ronaldo says that it was such a pleasure to work with him even for a short period.
A little about the topic
The interview caused a great stir both at the club and international level. While Man Utd is reportedly seeking legal advice, Cristiano Ronaldo was greeted in Qatar with an initially awkward handshake from Fernandes before being practically ignored by Joao Cancelo in training. Whether this will affect the Portuguese’s chances at the World Cup is debatable, but it looks like Cristiano Ronaldo has no future in Manchester.
Ole’s record of 91 wins out of 168 games overseen by Man Utd is the second-best in the post-Ferguson era, trailing only Mourinho – who boasted a winning percentage of 58.3. Solskjaer, however, was unable to deliver any silverware in his two and a half year tenure.
