THE BALL – «When Ronaldo plays, it’s almost a guaranteed goal» (Manchester United)

After the defeat suffered by Aston Villa (0-1), Manchester United returns to action this Wednesday, receiving Villarreal, in a match of the second round of the F of the Champions League.

the coach of red devils, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, assumes that Cristiano Ronaldo will always play an important role in the game: «When he plays, you can almost say that we have a guaranteed goal. He has many records, he has already scored 13 or 14 goals against Villarreal, he knows his defenders and always enters the field focused on scoring.»

Solskjaer recognizes that the pressure will be on his team’s side, not least because he also lost in the first round of the Champions League, in Switzerland, against Young Boys (1-2). «We lost three points in the last game, if you finish with zero or one point after two games it means you have to win the next four games to pass. It is not a ‘win or win’ scenario but this will be a very important game», he considered.

The coach also confirmed that he will not be able to count on Luke Shaw or Harry Maguire, both due to injury, while Wan-Bissaka will have to serve a suspension game.
