Solskjaer Confesses Man City Pressure Prompted Man Utd to Take Action with Ronaldo- Paul Vegas

While addressing attendees at the Oslo Business Forum, he praised Cristiano Ronaldo as "one of the top players in the world over the past 15 years." He reminisced about playing alongside Ronaldo during their time at Manchester United.

“He has history with the club and he's leaving Juventus but we can not give him to Manchester City because he will score more goals than Erling Haaland is doing at the moment probably.

“So I speak to Cristiano. We get him to Man United but I think maybe that affected the whole dressing room, the dynamic in the dressing room.

“Maybe other players felt less important because of course this is one of the world superstars that comes in. He did well. He was top scorer that year, scored 24 goals or something, but I was out of the job 10 weeks later!”
