‘This is what Cristiano is about’ – Solskjaer praises Ronaldo

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was full of praise for Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese marked his first appearance in his second spell with a brace for the Red Devils.

The 36-year-old grabbed his brace against

Newcastle United

in his debut after his return to

Manchester United

from

Juventus

this summer.

United manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

was full of praise for the 36-year-old Portugal striker and asked if he intended at any point not to start

Ronaldo

, he said

: "No, of course not.”

"This is what Man United is about, this is what Cristiano is about and this was a day for everyone to enjoy and they've delivered."

Ronaldo is not the same kind of player who used to thrill during his first spell in England. Instead, he has turned into a fantastic goalscorer.

"He has developed into a fantastic goalscorer,"

said Solskjaer, a renowned penalty-box predator himself as a player,

"sensing the big moments, knowing where to be, positioning himself in the box, playing a very good game. He drops in, links the play well, but gets in the box when he has to."

The victory sent United to the top of the table and maintained their unbeaten start to the season.
