Ronaldo dressing room behaviour contradicts rumours after Solskjaer fury

Cristiano Ronaldo is said to be positive and inspiring in the dressing room amid claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is struggling to control the big personalities at Manchester United.

Solskjaer is said to have given his players a 45-minute dressing down following the 4-2 defeat by Leicester City on the weekend as the Red Devils slipped to sixth in the table.

The result was followed by former captain Gary Neville suggesting the United dressing room is something of a mess at the moment due to the egos at the club.

Solskjaer already had the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani and Harry Maguire to keep in check before adding Ronaldo to the mix, which may have made his life more difficult.

But former Man United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak reckons Ronaldo will be having the opposite effect in the dressing room.

"Training with Cristiano Ronaldo was great for me," Kuszczak told Ladbrokes.

"I spent four years with him, seeing him every day, staying after training with him, playing games with him. For me, he always was a great guy, hard-working, always smiling, always positive. Many players think he's an arrogant guy, but he wasn't.

"He was loud, always happy, he loved football. He's a guy who was just fantastic to be around. He was never sad; he was so positive.

"We'd lose a game and he'd be one of the first in the dressing room to lift our heads up and tell us to focus on the next game.

"This was at a fairly young age as well, so he's always had those leadership qualities, and I imagine he's the one the current youngsters look up to in the dressing room now.

"You could feel that he believed in himself so much, as well as the rest of his team."
