Sir Alex Ferguson has expressed his displeasure with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for placing Cristiano Ronaldo on the substitutes for Manchester United. And the renowned Scottish educator was ϲомpеllеԀ to apologize to his erstwhile Norwegian student.
Sir Alex Ferguson personally contacted former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to apologize for criticizing his selection decisions during Solskjaer’s tenure at the club.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has 3 years leading MU
Solskjaer was a player at Old Trafford under Ferguson, where he won six Premier League championships, two FA Cups, and the Champions League. He returned to Manchester United in 2018 to replace Jose Mourinho and command the “red devils” for three years.
In the last season, Solskjaer commanded Manchester United and superstar Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford after 12 years at Real Madrid. However, it was not the return that many had hoped for, as Ronaldo had a nеɡɑtiᴠе impact on Manchester United.
Solskjaer has attempted to maximize the effectiveness of the 38-year-old Portuguese superstar, but there are times, such as the match against Everton, when Ronaldo must remain on the bench. Cavani was replaced by Ronaldo, but the Red Devils could only earn a 1-1 draw against the Toffees.

A video of Sir Alex Ferguson criticizing Solskjaer’s decision to suspend Ronaldo was released at the time. Solskjaer has just disclosed that the legendary strategist contacted him to apologize for the incident.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on his return to Old Trafford last night (May 13) to watch Manchester United defeat Wolves 2-0 in the Premier League, “That was the only occasion Sir Alex Ferguson apologized to me. After Ronaldo started from the bench in a game, he appeared in a video saying, “You should always use your best players.”
Sir Alex Ferguson called me to apologize because he understood the difficulty of the situation. I’m intelligent enough to avoid it. It is difficult to be the manager of Manchester United without the advice of former managers.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, the UFC champion, published Sir Alex Ferguson’s comments on Instagram. Khabib and Ferguson observed Manchester United’s contest against Everton. The Scottish coach was bewildered by Solskjaer’s decision to suspend Ronaldo.
“Also, I believe that when they see Ronaldo not playing…” said Sir Alex Ferguson. Then, Khabib interrupted Ferguson with, “Ronaldo came on in the second half.” Ferguson continued, “I know, but you should always start the game with your best players.”
Solskjaer asserted at the time that he had no problem with Ferguson’s public comments. Solskjaer even emphasized that during his tenure at Old Trafford, Ferguson relegated his finest players to the bench or forced them to leave permanently.

Solskjaer stated, “I’m fairly at ease with that. I’ve had a few disagreements with Ferguson, the manager, and I’ve told my wife numerous times that I disagree with him, but that has never been the case. Sir Alex is likely aware that I did not mind the attention when I was a player; it does not affect me.
Everyone wants to see Cristiano Ronaldo play because he is unique, distinct, and has had an extraordinary career, and we all want to see him play. However, it is obvious that he cannot perform all of our games.
Sir Alex Ferguson is aware of the difficulty of his position. He does not always participate with the same eleven individuals. Sometimes he risks allowing our all-time greatest players to rest, including Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, and David Beckham. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.”
