"I think it's OK that Ronaldo's on the touchline and Ole's going to have to accept it.
"I'm not sure he'd be doing that with Jose Mourinho mind you, it would be very different with him still in charge, but you'd also have to ask Ronaldo why he feels it's necessary to stand up and give some instruction in the first place.
"We've seen him do it on the international stage, most recently at the Euros, barking out orders. That boy will be a manager 100%.”
Ferdinand not comfortable with Ronaldo issuing instructions
Meanwhile, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand was not comfortable with Cristiano Ronaldo issuing instructions to his teammates after he was substituted in their 2-1 Champions League defeat to Young Boys earlier this week.
CR7 was taken off the game by his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the latter part of the meeting - a move that saw him usurp the responsibilities of the head coach.
And Ferdinand wasted to time in expressing his displeasure as he was quoted saying:
"If I’m the manager, I’ve got to be honest, I’m telling him to sit down."
