While Ronaldo did score a lot of goals in his return to United at the age of 35, he only lasted 1.5 seasons before joining the Saudi Pro League.
Solskjaer has admitted that current Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna (then assistant coach) did not want to bring back Ronaldo.
While on a podcast with Norwegian media outlet NRK, he stated: “How are we going to defend ourselves? That's the first thing he says.
“It was probably a wrong choice for all of us. But we felt it was the right decision then and there.”
Solskjaer stated that McKenna had analyzed Ronaldo’s last matches with Juventus the previous season.
