Ronaldo's performance would put more pressure on the Norwegian boss from fans as it is expected that the Portuguese forward should play every game.

After the game, Solskjaer was asked if the Portugal international will be left out of the United squad in future games and he responded.

What Solskjaer said

“The thing with Cristiano is that he looks after himself so much so I know he will recover quickly and he has had a pre-season.
"Of course it’s important that we get everyone up and running and to get him up and running and to give him 90 minutes.
“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.”
