Ex-Union coach: Ronaldo contract was wrong

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer joined since his departure Manchester United made a rare public appearance in August 2021. In a Norwegian podcast “NRKHe reports in detail for the first time about his time with the English record champions, the Ronaldo move and his other goals as a coach.

Solskjaer has enjoyed his time in Manchester – but he still disagrees with one decision: bringing Cristiano Ronaldo back from Juventus to the Red Devils. With his assistant coach at the time, Kieran McKenna, he made several appearances at Ronaldo’s Juventus Turin analysis. Although the decision of the two coaches was not entirely positive, those in charge of United decided to make a move.

“It was probably the wrong decision for all of us. But we immediately felt it was the right decision,” said the Norwegian.

Solskjaer’s time in Manchester was marked by ups and downs. The 51-year-old thoroughly enjoyed his time in England so he looks back on the experience fondly. “I’m proud of what I’ve done. I have to say, I think it was very good. And we were on our way to something really good. “

“We came third and second, we got to a bunch of semi-finals. And unfortunately we have the final round (2021 Europa League Final against Villarreal with 11:10 nE; Anm. d. Red.) lost.”

The 67-time Norway international still does not know what course his career as a coach will take in the future.

He cannot refuse to be the national coach. “I think a national team could suit me. But then he can’t be on the other side of the world,” Solskjaer said.

“It has to be something excitingwith the right people. But now I feel so good that something must be leaving me therefore very exciting that I decide, Nordmore (his native country of Norway, d, R.) To leave.”
