Cristiano Ronaldo and an old friend: As a partner, to be led by Solskjaer

When Cristiano Ronaldo first entered the Manchester United dressing room at the start of the 2003-2004 season, a legend was sitting. Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer, who entered the net legend on the night of May 26, 1999. In the 93rd minute of the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, the child-faced Norwegian kicked the ball in, in the goal of Oliver Kahn and the scoreboard will definitely turn around in one of the most dramatic game ends in football history.

Since he entered that dressing room, Cristiano began to make a name for himself with the Norwegian. Now, when he gets dressed in the red coat again, the Portuguese will also see Solsjkaer in the dressing room, but this time giving instructions.

The current coach and the prodigal son shared changing rooms as reds players for four seasons, ranging from 2003-2004 to 2006-2007, when the Norwegian hung up his boots. In that period, the now coach was weakened by injuries and only played with more continuity in the last of the four seasons that they were part of the same squad.
