As someone who doesn't consider in appropriate measurements of 'grasp' in football, Cristiano Ronaldo is going an extended way this Champions League marketing campaign to attempt to show me in any other case.
After scoring late comeback winners in opposition to Villarreal and Atalanta already this season, the Portugal forward was up to his vintage tricks to steady Manchester United a valuable point away in Bergamo on Tuesday night time.
It regarded destined to be another game that just wouldn't pass Man Utd's way. They fell behind to a purpose from Josip Ilicic - whose pea-curler changed into spilled in by David de Gea.
But Ronaldo become on hand to tug his facet returned into the game, finishing off a neat free-flowing pass to equalise at the stroke of half of-time.
While Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes were dazzling, the midfield duo of Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba had been whatever however, continuously dropping the ball and failing to help United progress the ball.
And before you knew it, United had been in the back of once more. Duvan Zapata ran onto a ball over the top after being played onside by using Harry Maguire, at the same time as De Gea remained rooted to his line and didn't slender the angle.
Solskjaer definitely supposed enterprise via throwing Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek (!!!) on looking for a overdue equaliser.
But glaringly there has been most effective one man for the event...
And so Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lives to combat every other day. Again.
