He’s evolved’: Solskjaer raves about Man United star Cristiano Ronaldo

The Portugal international scored twice on his first appearance of the season for Manchester United against Newcastle United as he helped to fire the home side to a 4-1 win at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo is settling into life back at Old Trafford 12 years after he left the club to sign for Real Madrid in the summer of 2009.

Solskjaer was thrilled by Ronaldo’s performance against the Magpies on Saturday as Bruno Fernandes and Jesse Lingard also got on the score-sheet for the Red Devils.

And the Red Devils boss spoke glowingly about the Portugal international after the game.

Asked how Ronaldo had changed as a player since he played alongside him, Solskjaer said: “He’s developed into a miles better footballer than when he was here through the years.
