Benching Ronaldo against Everton the 'correct decision' as Solskjaer defends decision

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes he made the "correct decision" to drop Cristiano Ronaldo to the bench despite seeing his side held to a 1-1 draw by Everton.

Solskjaer told reporters: "You make decisions for a long, long season and you have to manage the players’ workload. The decision was, for me, a correct one.

"Anthony Martial came in and did well, scored a good goal. Edinson [Cavani] needed minutes and got an hour, he could have scored."
