“I don’t want to speculate too much,” said Solskjaer as quoted by United’s website.

“Cristiano has been a legend of this club, he is a legend of this club, he’s the greatest player of all time, if you ask me.

“I was fortunate enough to play with him, I coached him. He almost retired me, because of that Wolverhampton game when I got injured, he kept switching sides! He’s such a tremendous human being as well, so let’s see what happens. Everyone who’s played with him has a soft spot for him.

“I didn’t think Cristiano was gonna turn out leaving Juventus. It’s been speculation the last few days, of course,” Ole added.
