Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has ruled out the likelihood of featuring Cristiano Ronaldo in every of the club’s game at the ongoing English Premier League (EPL).

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner put up an impressive showing during his second debut for the United at the weekend where he scored two goals to secure the club’s 4-1 victory against Newcastle,
