Manchester –
Manager Manchester United Ole Gunnar Solskjaer make sure Cristiano Ronaldo will not continue to play. This is related to the age of the Portuguese player.
Ronaldo made his second debut with the Red Devils nicely. When facing Newcastle United at Old Trafford, Saturday (11/9/2021) night WIB, Ronaldo scored two goals that brought MU to win 4-1.
This is certainly a sign that Ronaldo can provide many things for MU even though he is 36 years old. Moreover, at Juventus, Ronaldo also has quite a lot of playing hours.
Plus, in the Portuguese national team, Ronaldo is almost never replaced by another player. With Ronaldo’s experience and goals, MU hopes for a trophy this season.
Ronaldo is also the type of player who doesn’t like being pulled out and often shows an expression of frustration when he fails to play the full 90 minutes.
However, Solskjaer apparently did not want to comply with Ronaldo’s wishes. Because Solskjaer sees Ronaldo as a senior player who needs extra treatment, so that his physical condition is maintained throughout the season.
Moreover, the Premier League is known as a physically demanding competition so it can make Cristiano Ronaldo injury. Quoted by Transfermarkt, Ronaldo only missed 15 matches during three years for Juventus due to thigh and knee muscle problems.
“It could be that he is not played. He is 36 years old. Mason Greenwood is also only 19 years old, so it’s the same. I have to manage the minutes he plays and I also have to manage the playing time of the 36-year-old players too,” said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from ESPN.
“Another thing is that Cristiano does take care of his body properly, so I know he will recover quickly. Of course it is very important that we can play all the players, including playing him,” he continued.
