Former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has criticised the club’s current boss for benching Cristiano Ronaldo against Everton.
Solskjaer was already under fire after United's recent struggles left them two points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea.In a conversation with former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in the directors' lounge at Old Trafford, United legend Ferguson was filmed saying"you should always start with your best players".
Ferguson played a key role in Ronaldo's blockbuster return to United in August, making a phone call to his former player to convince him to snub an offer from Manchester City in favour of an emotional move to Old Trafford. "He's not a young puppy anymore but he's as professional as ever and ready to come on and he came on with energy and attitude."
