Cristiano Ronaldo 'disappointed' with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decision at Man Utd

Cristiano Ronaldo disagreed with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s decision to rest him and has told the Manchester United manager to play him in every Premier League game, according to reports.

The 36-year-old was surprisingly dropped for United’s 1-1 draw with Everton at Old Trafford before the international break.

Solskjaer received criticism for his decision, while Sir Alex Ferguson was also filmed disagreeing with the call and saying that the United manager ‘should always start with your best players’.

According to The Sun, Ronaldo was ‘disappointed’ with starting on the bench against Everton.

And the report claims that Ronaldo has told Solskjaer that he will let him know when he needs a rest.

‘Ronaldo was extremely disappointed for being benched,’ a source at United told The Sun.

‘Ole presumed that he was tired after the Villarreal game, so he decided to only put him on early in the second half.

‘But Cristiano told him that he will tell him when he isn’t fit to play and that he wants to play in every single league game.

‘He also told him that he has come here to win trophies and that United need to play their most important players in all of the games.’

Solskjaer, meanwhile, was unhappy with the nature of how Ferguson’s opinion on the decision to bench Ronaldo was made public.

‘I’m quite relaxed about it but, of course, it’s not really fair on the gaffer that something like this gets broadcast,’ said Solskjaer.

‘You always have opinions and you speak to people, you speak to people in confidence.

‘I disagreed with the gaffer quite a few times and I told my wife quite a few times that I disagreed with him but that never made headlines as a player. I’m sure Sir Alex knows that it doesn’t bother me.

‘We all want to see Cristiano. We all want to, because he’s unique, he’s different, he’s had a career and everyone wants to come and watch him. But the plain fact of it is he cannot play every single game that we play, that’s just physical nature, human nature.

‘But he knows how difficult this job is anyway, the gaffer. He didn’t always play the same eleven. He took some risks at times to rest Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney or David Beckham, the best players that we had. Sometimes it works, sometimes it didn’t.’
