Ronaldo wants the ball more in his feet… What else is new?

Back in May, Europa League final gave us a penalty shootout between Villareal and Manchester United. The Yellow Submarine continued the trophy drought of the English team who are without silverware with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the wheel. However, Man United did not have Cristiano Ronaldo back then.Wednesday night, it was Ronaldo himself who served revenge cold to the Spaniards as his late winner provided all three points to the Old Trafford team. Joy overwhelmed the Theater of Dreams in the final minutes – however there was some negative energy in the attacking third of Manchester United.Sat, 2/10, 14.30: (1.55) MAN UNITED (4.20) EVERTON (7.00)According to Man Utd and Portugal wing back Alex Telles, Ronaldo was upset with his team-mates that night and made his feelings clear before he scored the winner.Ronaldo had just one shot on target in the entire game, but struck late to secure Manchester United’s first win in this Champions League campaign.With the Portuguese superstar having just one shot on target in the entire match, it was obvious the Red Devils struggled to get Ronaldo into the game.United enjoyed 54 per cent of the possession and had 14 shots in total against Unai Emery’s men.Turning that dominance into goals was again hard work for the Solskjaer’s side – and again they needed moments of individual brilliance to secure the win.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Telles admitted that Ronaldo had been left frustrated by his team-mates and that it was the lack of service he was provided that made him unhappy.Ronaldo made it clear to his team-mates that he was not receiving enough passes in the final third before he scored past Villarreal keeper Gerónimo Rulli.Telles attempted to keep his star team-mate focused on the game.“So, it was the first time I play with him,” Telles told TNT Sports. “Off the pitch, we already have this closer relationship because we speak Portuguese. And five minutes before he was a little upset that we didn’t get any balls to him.“I said ‘it will arrive, it will arrive, stay concentrated because it will arrive’. And as soon as I went off, Ronaldo doesn’t need much, right?“We know his quality, we see it on a daily basis. So it only took one ball in the box and he gave us the victory. It’s a dream.”Champions League is Cristiano’s home! CR7 scores at the death to give United a dramatic 2-1 win over VillarealSolskjaer should already know he needs to find a way to involve his star attacker more – Ronaldo’s winner against Villareal was his fifth goal in five games since he returned to the Red Devils. Man United welcome Everton tomorrow in the Premier League matchday 7 opener and Solskjaer’s men have a chance move to the top of the league with a win. That’s at least until later in the weekend when their rivals for first place play their matches.
