Cristiano Ronaldo will make his Manchester United debut against Newcastle but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has refused to say if he will start.

Ronaldo returned to United on the day of the transfer deadline last month, and signed a two-year contract 12 years after leaving the club.

Ronaldo was able to join United’s squad earlier than expected as he was suspended for Portugal’s World Cup qualifying match with Azerbaijan in midweek, and is expected to start against Newcastle.

It was good,” Solskjaer said. “Of course, we’ve followed his career from afar since he left here. I think everyone is very happy to have him back. He can speak for himself but he seems happy to be back too. The mood has been very good, we are doing well and looking forward to Saturday.”

“He’s had a good pre-season with Juventus, he’s played for the national team, he’s had a good week here with us. He’ll definitely be on the field at some point, that’s for sure.”

“I wasn’t confused when I spoke to you [at the last pre-match press conference]. I was so confused, I was so happy at that moment but I couldn’t say it all.

“Cristiano’s comeback, the way he has managed himself this week, he has come, we know what he has achieved in his career but he has come here to achieve more.

“He has lived his life with the discipline of a top pro. Since I came here he was the first to prep well, every day, 45 minutes before the training session and we started looking at this kid doing it all. This is before training and it will have an impact on All players.

“We’ve evolved as a group in the last few years. The determination, the desire and the focus has improved over time little by little. Like bringing in Rafael, he brought in a winner’s mentality and an incredible focus. Then came Cristiano as well, there’s nowhere to hide with winners like them, you can’t go to training with a 95 percent. % and lack of focus. That’s what he’s asking of himself and everyone else.

“Everyone develops and develops throughout their career. Cristiano is a different player than the one who left, but he is still in good shape and in the next few years he will be looking to play as much as he can, to score as many goals as he can. Possibly, he is a threat from direct play himself, but Also at the end of the passes and adds something extra.

“We don’t have his skill set on the team, his combination of skills. Nobody has, really! He’s one of the best players who’ve ever played the game.”

“That’s fine. We have mutual respect for each other, who can’t respect what he’s achieved in his career? But he knows I have to make decisions when to play with him, when not to play with him. A job to manage him and get the best from him.”

“I want to see the best in Cristiano and that comes from communicating with him. We’ve spent a few years together at the club, we know each other. He doesn’t want me to tell him what to do, he always had the determination and the desire to be the best and he still has it.”

“In my career, who I’ve played with is someone I’ve seen ready and taken the steps he needed to. Ryan Giggs played until the age of 40 and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up with Cristiano the same age as Ryan.”
