Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United coach, said on Friday, when asked who is better, Cristiano Ronaldo or Mohamed Salah, that he will always support his team’s Portuguese striker.
The comparison between the Portuguese and the Egyptian Liverpool player arises as a result of Salah’s chances of winning the Ballon d’Or, which have increased in recent days due to his good performances.
Solskjaer, in the preview of the duel between Manchester United and Liverpool this weekend, was blunt: “I will always support Cristiano in any competition.”
On Salah, he stressed that his scoring record “is fantastic” and that right now he is in a great moment.
“We have to be at our best level to defend him. We have to do a great job. And not just against him. I’m a big fan of his attack. They are players that you have to dry out for 95 minutes to keep the door clean.” Solskjaer explained.
“Liverpool are one of the teams we have been chasing for the last four years. We have to improve to be at their level,” he said.
For Sunday’s duel, the ‘Red Devils’ coach confirmed that he has two important doubts, those of Bruno Fernandes and Fred, who “will do everything possible to get to the match.”
