Having Cristiano Ronaldo on your team doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to win, and that’s what Manchester United had to learn during their recent match against Everton. The face-off between the two teams ended in a disappointing draw after Ronaldo was left on the bench. This frustrating match took place only a few days after the Portuguese striker led United to victory against Villarreal in the Champions League. The Red Devils were hoping for a similar outcome against Everton but failed to come out victorious after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided to bench Ronaldo. The Portuguese player didn’t hide his frustration and marched straight down the tunnel upon the final whistle. The club’s supporters were also disappointed by the game’s final result. Solskjaer came under fire for benching Ronaldo but said he stands by his decision. "You make decisions throughout a long, long season and you've got to manage the players' workload and the decision was, for me, the correct one today," explained Solskjaer after the game. Manchester United has been off to a rocky start this Premier League season and managed to win only two of their past six games. The Red Devil supporters are hoping that Solskjaer is going to improve his strategy in the upcoming games since things won’t get any easier for his players as they get ready to face Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
