Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists Cristiano Ronaldo will not play every game this season.
The veteran Portuguese scored two goals on his return to Old Trafford against Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday.
Ronaldo did stay on the field for 90 minutes, but Solskjaer does not think that will be a regular occurrence.
"The thing with Cristiano is that he looks after himself so much so I know he will recover quickly and he has had a pre-season," the United head coach said.
"Of course it's important that we get everyone up and running and to get him up and running and to give him 90 minutes.
"Of course there is a game on Tuesday (against Young Boys). We will see what we do. But no, it's not impossible to leave him out. He is 36, Mason [Greenwood] is 19, so it's the same, I have to manage his minutes, and I have to manage a 36-year-old's minutes as well."
