Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's decision to drop returning hero Cristiano Ronaldo to the bench for the visit of Everton at Old Trafford has strongly divided opinion.
The United boss made the call to ease the minutes of the talisman, despite Ronaldo's return of five goals in five games since his emotional homecoming.
News of Ronaldo only making the bench for the visit of Rafa Benitez's in-form Everton has also been greeted poorly by the vast majority of supporters, who feel the club legend should be allowed to continue his blistering momentum.
After hearing Solskjaer's team selection, former United star Rio Ferdinand could understand the logic.
