Breaking news :Messi finally breaks silent over rivalry with Ronaldo after the sack of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.

 PSG star Lionel Messi has insisted that 

his long-term rival Cristiano Ronaldo has 

adapted impressively on his return to 

Manchester United, despite the club's 

recent dire form.





Ronaldo has been a bright light in United's 


poor start to the season and has bailed 


the Red Devils out in crucial games with 


all seven of their Champions League points 


so far coming thanks to his late strikes.



But his nine goals this term eventually couldn't


 save Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from the axe 


after the club dismissed the manager following


 a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Watford on 


Saturday.



The Portugal international hailed the former


 manager as an 'outstanding human being' 


after the club finally pulled the trigger and 


former team-mate, Michael Carrick, has 


stepped in temporarily for United's trip to 


Villareal on Tuesday.



Ronaldo will be looking to add to his 


impressive European tally in the clash 


against the Europa League champions 


but Messi is already impressed with the 


forward's impact.



‘United is a very strong team with great 


players. Cristiano already knew the club, 


but it’s in another stage and now he has 


adapted in an impressive way,’ Messi told Marca.





‘From the beginning he has scored goals 


as always and had no problems adapting.



‘In the Premier League it is not as good 


as we all thought, but it is a very difficult and


 even competition in which things take a lot 


of turns.



‘After December it changes a lot and anything


 can happen.’



In addition to his Champions League tally,


 Ronaldo has also maintained his firing 


form in the Premier League, bagging four 


goals this term.





In contrast, Messi only scored his first 


league goal since his summer switch to PSG


 on Saturday but the Argentine insisted his 


direct duels with Ronaldo are history.



‘It’s been a long time since we stopped 


competing in the same league.



‘We competed individually and as a team 


for the same goals.



‘It was a very beautiful stage for us and 


also for the people because they enjoyed 


it very much.



‘It is a beautiful memory that will remain 


in the history of football.’



Messi is aiming to secure his new side their


 first ever Champions League title but 


recognised the fierce level of competition 


this year.







The 34-year-old claimed a number of clubs 


could win the competition, while name-checking


 five teams as top candidates.



‘Liverpool are doing very well, they have 


returned to being the Liverpool that won 


the Champions League,’ the ex-Barcelona 


star said.



‘Then there are Manchester City, Bayern 


Munich, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid… 


there are many teams that can fight for 


this Champions League.



'It’s one of the most even and competitive 


years in recent times because there are 


several teams that can choose to win it.’

Rangnick is a big fans of Haidara, having signed  him for RB Leipzig from Red Bull Salzburg.  Quoted by  Bundesliga.com  at the time of the  deal, the United interim boss described the  midfielder as an ‘absolutely exceptional’ talent.

Revealed: Ragnick reveals why Ronaldo will be a big doubt for his first game as a manager of Manchester United.

  Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly a major  doubt for Manchester United's match against  Crystal Palace on Sunday due to  a knee injury.   The 36-year-old Portuguese scored twice  on Thursday evening - including the winner  from the penalty spot - as United beat   Arsenal 3-2 at Old Trafford in Michael  Carrick's final game in charge  as caretaker boss. But The Sun claim Ronaldo may have  injured his knee doing his trademark 'siu'  celebration after smashing the penalty  high into the net past Aaron Ramsdale  with twenty minutes remaining. The Portugal international demonstrated  no immediate ill-effects, running the  length of the pitch in 12 seconds to support  a late counter attack in the 87th minute. However, he was substituted for Anthony  Martial with two minutes of the 90  remaining, and was seen walking awkwardly  off the pitch. If he is ruled out, it will come as a big  blow ...
