Redknapp: Man Utd boss Solskjaer will be happy Ronaldo shouting from touchline | OneFootball

Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have been pleased seeing Cristiano Ronaldo arguing with the ref after being substituted in defeat at Young Boys.

He wrote for The Sun: "... as a former manager, I would be only too pleased to have my star player on the touchline, shouting encouragement to the rest of the team, having been substituted.

"Football is generally a selfish industry, even though it is a team sport, and it is not uncommon for players to sit on the bench with the hump, cursing the manager and the whole world if they are taken off.

"And when I say it's not unusual, I would go as far to say from my experience that most players are like that.

"This is what sets Ronaldo apart from most others. The man's a superstar, a supreme athlete and is a decent bet to end the season as the top scorer in the Premier League this season. And he is 36.

"If anyone has the right to sulk if taken off it is him.

"But, far from that, he still wanted more than anything to see his team win. That is why he was standing on the shoulder of his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, barking at his team-mates.

"When you have players in your ranks who still shout for the team when they have been subbed for whatever reason, it is a massive reassurance."
