The 36-year-old Manchester United star is said to have given a clear warning to his teammates in recent days.
In the wake of Manchester United’s humiliating 0-5 loss to Liverpool in the Premier League, there have been several reports claiming that the club’s squad of players have lost faith in manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his tactical actions.
More recently, on Wednesday, the main newspaper The Times reported that there had been heated discussions among the players regarding the 48-year-old even before meeting Liverpool.
Now the local Manchester Evening News reports that Cristiano Ronaldo has taken responsibility for calming the mood in the locker room. The 36-year-old is said to have asked the other players to remain calm, until the situation around Solskjaer is finally cleared.
