Ronaldo ridicules Rangnick's pressing style: 'These new coaches think they find the last Coca-Cola in the desert'

"When you sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, you should bring a top manager, not a sports director," said Cristiano Ronaldo when asked about Ralf Rangnick's appointment as interim Manchester United boss.

Piers Morgan asks Ronaldo if that was a 'ridiculous' decision and the 37-year-old replied: "Of course, If you're not even a coach how are you going to be the boss of Manchester United."

"I didn't know him and with people I spoke to nobody knew him."

Ronaldo continued: "Of course, I respect, we have to call because he assumed the job regardless - all the coaches that I had in my career, I call them boss because if they assume the job we have to call in that way.

"But in the end the deep inside me, I never saw him as the boss because I saw some points that I never agreed. It was a tough moment."

When asked about Rangnick's pressing style, the Portuguese said: "It's something that I don't understand.

"It's the new coaches that are coming around, they think they find the last Coca Cola in the desert, which is I don't understand the football that invents many, many years.

"And when you see some coaches that are coming, that they want the revolution [in] the football, I don’t agree, I have my opinion.

"They agree or they don't, they disagree, but it's part of the business because at the end of the day, I'm in a club to win, and with my experience, I want to help. Like always, and some coaches that don't accept and, you know, it's part of the job."
