Former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said Cristiano Ronaldo should have started last weekend’s 1-1 home draw with Everton rather than being brought in as a second-half substitute by current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Ronaldo came just before the hour and United took a 1-0 lead but Everton leveled in the 65th minute and remained on a draw.
In a video posted to social media, Ferguson is heard telling mixed martial arts great Khabib Nurmagomedov that Everton was promoted “when he saw Ronaldo wasn’t playing…”
When Nurmagomedov reminded Ferguson that Ronaldo came in in the second half, Scott said: “Yeah, I know … but you should always start with your best players.”

Ronaldo has said that Ferguson, who first signed him as an 18-year-old from Sporting Lisbon in 2003, played a big part in the player coming back to Old Trafford.
United, who have 14 points from seven league matches, will take on Leicester City on 16 October in their next round of matches after the international break.
