Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in the summer of 2021 and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked 4 months later.
Former Manchester United boss Ole Gunner Solskjaer has said Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani suffered the most when Cristiano Ronaldo joined the club.
Ronaldo came back to Old Trafford from Juventus in the summer of 2021, joining a team already featuring Cavani, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, and Mason Greenwood.
His return reportedly caused some tension in the Red Devils locker room and didn't go as planned for Solskjaer, who was sacked less than four months later.

"But when you leave him out once, he’s not happy!"
