All eyes on Man United as Ronaldo set for second debut against Newcastle
All eyes have been on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United team sheet tomorrow to see if Cristiano Ronaldo will be thrown straight into the starting XI.
All eyes have been on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United team sheet tomorrow to see if Cristiano Ronaldo will be thrown straight into the starting XI.
No doubt, Ronaldo has been training with his teammates since Tuesday and will be champing at the bit to walk out onto the pitch in that famous number 7 shirt.
We think Solskjaer will start him. There will be so much pressure from the fans, the player himself and, probably the board and sponsors. This might be a little hard on Edinson Cavani, but he would almost certainly get 30 minutes on the pitch as Ronaldo is eased in.
The defence is likely to be unchanged from the team that beat Wolves 1-0 last time out, with David de Gea in goal, Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane at centre back and Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka at full-back.
“There couldn’t be a different end, given the way Ronaldo had spoken to us. We couldn’t force a player to stay in a context that he didn’t recognise anymore.
“We respect Ronaldo, but I share the same view as our president – Juventus’ history is made by great champions, coaches and directors, but the club remains the most important thing.”
