CAPTAIN'S ORDERS

Ronaldo made a sensational return to Old Trafford after 12 years away when he arrived from Juventus last August.
But his presence has not always been seen as positive, with certain pundits suggesting he’s a liability who overshadows his team-mates.

“Before Ronaldo came in, Fernandes was the main man. Now Ronaldo’s the main man.
“Ronaldo was captain against Wolves. Before Ronaldo came it was Fernandes who was captain when Harry Maguire was out and now he’s on the bench.
“There’s going to be tension there. If you look at the whole situation, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will know he made a mistake by bringing Ronaldo in, simple as that.
