Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has showered encomiums on Cristiano Ronaldo following his winning goal against Villarreal in the Uefa Champions League on Wednesday.
Ronaldo scored a last-minute winner for Manchester United to hand them a 2-1 win over the visitors who scored first through Paco Alcacer.
“That is what he has done throughout his career – he is so strong mentally, he just stays in the game, I have seen him all day today, the way he built himself up for the game, focused,” said Solskjaer.
“He’s done that so many times, when you saw him (for Portugal) against Ireland a month ago, he missed a pen, didn’t touch the ball much and then scored two great headers in the last few minutes.
“When he gets that one chance it is a goal. It is the true mark of a very, very good finisher that he keeps calm when the chance arrives,” he added.
