Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is currently under fire as they are set to take on Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea in the Premier League.

Wenger admitted that it was not a mistake that the club re-signed Ronaldo, he however stated that the former Real Madrid forward has upset the balance of the squad. He said via Metro 301:

“I wouldn’t say it was a mistake but certainly some emotional impact was in there because he has been a fantastic player.

“No, I believe Ronaldo can still score you the goals you need. Can he repeat every three games, very high intensity games? That’s certainly less the case today but let’s not forget he was the hero three days ago.

“When you buy a player like that, the secret is the balance of the team. To play Ronaldo, he can win you games, but you need to create the balance around him.”
