Maguire: Manchester United has not formulated effective tactics around Ronaldo, Solskjaer is the best time

Recently, Maguire talked about Ronaldo and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Ferdinand's podcast.

About Ronaldo

"I can't say anything bad about him," said Maguire. "It's great to have him. Even the moment he just walked into the gate was incredible. It was just that the ending was so disappointing that we couldn't find a way to get him into the team and play. "

" He was excellent on the court and kept scoring goals. It was crazy, and I don't know how many goals he scored that year. We were bad and he was still scoring. It just showed how good he was.

"Our system under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was all about offensive football, proactiveness, high-level oppression. It's all about oppression like a machine. We were not the best team, we finished second and third.

"We have some great players, don't get me wrong, but everything revolves around tactics and efforts to maintain the formation structure. Obviously, after Ronaldo came, we just didn't adjust for him well, you can see how frustrated and upset he was."

About Solskjaer

"It was a season where everyone was extremely frustrated. We couldn't believe what happened, we obviously finished second and third before, and then that season we signed Rafael Varane and Ronaldo. You'd think, 'Okay, now we're going to win the Premier League title.' But it never happened, and it never made a tacit understanding.

"We also lost Solskjaer, which was disappointing. I think Solskjaer did an amazing job. I will talk about him more when I retire, but the system he built for us in those two years was when I felt the best on the team. ”

About Manchester United's "disappointing" ending

" It has nothing to do with Ronaldo, because like I said, he was undoubtedly the best player of our year. The tactics surrounding him are just not working,” Maguire said.

C Ronaldo originally joined Manchester United in the summer of 2003 and returned to the club in the summer of 2021. At that time, Manchester United had just finished second in the Premier League under then-head coach Solskjaer.

Manchester United had a tough 2021/22 season and ended up sixth in the Premier League standings. Despite the disappointing final result, Ronaldo scored 24 goals in 38 games.

C Ronaldo finally left Manchester United after both sides agreed to terminate the contract.
