Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer felt Cristiano Ronaldo should have been awarded a penalty against Young Boys in the Champions League.

United were down to ten men, but 1-0 up, when Ronaldo went through on goal in the second half.

However, the defender came back to make a challenge and sent Ronaldo tumbling to the ground.

No decision was given by the referee, with Solskjaer left fuming at what he felt was a certain spot kick.

"You can never be surprised by the man, he scored another goal, he should have had a penalty and sending off the other way," Solskjaer said.

"He pounced on that mistake. He's exceptional but we have to look after him and it felt like the right moment to take him off.

"He shoves him with his arm and he's one-on-one with the keeper but [the referee] probably didn't do it as he'd have had to send him off and that's sometimes what you get with young refs."
