Cristiano Ronaldo is 'holding the dressing room TOGETHER at Man United and is urging team-mates not to down tools' as he rallies behind under-fire boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Beleaguered Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has the support of his highest-profile player in Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Portuguese superstar encouraging his team-mates to get behind the Norwegian.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Ronaldo is 'holding the dressing room together' at Old Trafford as the club continues to reel from their chastening 5-0 home thrashing by arch rivals Liverpool on Sunday.

The report adds that Ronaldo is urging players 'to not down tools' and to maintain standards - despite some irked by Solskjaer's tactics and personnel choices.
