"I know, but you should always start with your best players."
Ronaldo tells Solskjaer how to utilise him
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo has told Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to change his tactics in order to help him perform better after a promising start to his return to Man United.
The Portuguese superstar has scored his fifth goal in all competitions including the dramatic winner against Villarreal in the Champions League.
However, according to reports from ESPN the five-time Ballon d'Or is not satisfied with Solskjaer's tactics which he believes can be improved upon.
The 36-year-old wants the ball to move quicker in attacking areas instead of the gradual build-up from defence into the midfield.
The Portuguese forward wants the ball to be played into the final third to increase his chances of scoring more goals.
