Former Manchester United assistant manager Steve McClaren says Cristiano Ronaldo has the future of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in his hands.
McClaren was assistant manager to Sir Alex Ferguson when United won the treble in 1999.
McClaren feels that signing players such as Ronaldo and Raphael Varane, who have both enjoyed much success throughout their careers, will increase the pressure on Solskjaer to get positive results.
"I remember walking into that dressing room and every one of them at Manchester United, [Peter] Schmeichel all the way through to [Ryan] Giggs in that one to 11, even the likes of Phil Neville, [Nicky] Butt, Scholesy [Paul Scholes] those players on the fringes had won things so they knew how to win things.
"He [Solskjaer]'s brought Ronaldo and Varane - Ronaldo especially - he knows how to win. What he's got to do, he's having from what I hear such an influence in that dressing room, he's number one and they're looking at him.
"If he doesn't have a dessert for dinner, the rest of the players don't have a dessert for dinner so he's got the followers."
