Cristiano Ronaldo Was, He Also Can And He Is Already Doing It, Admit Ole Gunner Solskjaer

-

Bruno Fernandes can be as talismanic  player for Manchester United as Cristiano Ronaldo was, admit Ole Gunner Solskjaer.

The Portugal midfielder has made a sparkling start to his Old Trafford career and his early impact really does beg the question over where United would be in the league if they had him all season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side has been lacking creativity ever since the Norwegian was handed the permanent job and an attacking midfielder of real quality was essential.

In Fernandes, United have a player that can dictate the tempo of the game through his leadership, composure and accuracy in possession

The Reds now have a player in the number 10 position that always wants the ball at his feet, and is first thought is always how he can create a goal.

Our no.18 has recorded an astonishing 34 goal involvements in his 35 matches for the club – more than any other Premier League player in that time – including five goals and an assist in our three consecutive wins in November, against Everton, West Brom and Istanbul Basaksehir.

Fifteen of those 34 contributions to goals have arrived in his 10 Premier League away games, only two of which we’ve failed to win, and the manager admits the 26-year-old has had a transformative effect on the team, similar to the impact his legendary countryman offered to Sir Alex Ferguson's 2006-2009 vintage.

“He does definitely have that presence,” Solskjaer told journalists in his pre-match press conference for Southampton on Sunday. “He has that influence and impact on his team mates.

“We can just look at the results since he's come in. He's got lots of energy, leadership; he's a team player, which is a key here now for us going forward.”

The boss noted how the former Sporting Lisbon man, and team-mate Marcus Rashford, are more than happy to sit out the odd game in the interests of rotation and giving other squad members an opportunity.

“Some players will have to sit games out and rest,” Ole continued.

“I wasn't looking forward to telling Bruno that he was resting against Leipzig [for last month’s 5-0 Champions League win], but it was absolutely no problem. Same with Marcus, to be fair.

“Because they know this season is challenging and that's how we build this team and the culture of the team. It's about team and not individuals. Bruno has proven that, over and over, that it's a team before I.”

What On Earth Really Happened To Cristiano Ronaldo's Dribbling

When Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Manchester United in 2003, he was known for one thing and that is incredible skills. His dribbling was out of this world, his feet was so quick it makes defenders dis-comfortable. Thou, not every one loved his tricks at first, but later on begin to like him the more because of his generosity. In fact, when he was at Sporting as teenager, his manager Laszlo Boloni used to tell him  not to dribble too much, he said "for him the thing he wanted to do most was dribble.  My job was to tell him that dribbling pass one or two players is important, but five is too many." As he was intelligent, he started to go down the right path and that his intelligent got him to Manchester United, there he got his mentor Sir Alex Ferguson who shape him from a dribbler to more efficient player. Ronaldo developed the more, there he got assists, going pass players like they weren't there, goals and creates lots of chances. His dribbling was making defenders mad. ...

 The Red Devils reportedly agreed to a big-money deal for Fati with his representative Mendes, but the Catalan giants refused to part ways with their 18-year-old prodigy. Manchester United reportedly agreed in principle to sign Ansu Fati for €150million (£133million) last summer, only for Barcelona to call a halt to transfer discussions. Fati, 18, is considered one of the most exciting prospects in European football and burst onto the scene with seven goals in 24 La Liga games last season. He scored his first professional goal aged just 16 to become Barcelona's youngest ever goalscorer and the third-youngest in La Liga history. Fati also became the youngest scorer in Champions League history after scoring the winner over Inter Milan aged 17 last December to put him firmly on United's radar. The Red Devils were desperate to add a right-winger to their ranks after missing out on Jadon Sancho and lined up a deal for Fati with his agent, Jorge Mendes. But despite the "dizzying...
