Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is delighted to have Cristiano Ronaldo back.
Ahead of tomorrow's clash with Newcastle United, Solskjaer commented on Ronaldo's return.
The manager said: "Everyone is very happy to have him back. Looking forward to Saturday. He has had a good pre-season and played for the national team. He will get on the pitch at some point that's for sure.
"We know what he has achieved in his career and he has come in to achieve more. He has lived his life with the discipline of a top professional. He was the first one who did the prep really well. He would come in 45 minutes before training and we would look at this kid doing all this stuff before training. He will have the same effect now with all the players.
"The focus in the squad has improved. Cristiano and Raphael comes in and there is no place to hide with winners like that. You can't give 95% in training when you have winners like them. That is what he demands of himself and everyone else."
On Fred's situation, he added: "It is a lose, lose, lose situation for everyone, national teams, players, clubs. It has been a farce. The players want to play. We know the situation we find ourselves in. Worked hard before this to try and find a way, all the decisions have gone against the players.
"Disappointed with the whole thing. We need to prepare without Fred but fingers crossed some sense can come into it and we can use him."
