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,
But in spite of this and his ability to lift the spirit of other team members when he is on the pitch, the Man-U manager insisted that not featuring him too frequently is a strategy to keep him fresh.
While responding to a question on the possibility of leaving out the soccer star in any match, Solskjaer remarked that there is need for the club to constantly challenge all its players.
“Of course there is a game on Tuesday (against Young Boys). We will see what we do. But no, it’s not impossible to leave him out. He is 36, Mason [Greenwood] is 19, so it’s the same, I have to manage his minutes, and I have to manage a 36-year-old’s minutes as well,” he said.
