Cristiano Ronaldo hails 'outstanding human being' Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following his Manchester United sacking after working with him across two spells as he joins players in paying tribute to the Norwegian

Cristiano Ronaldo joined the chorus of Manchester United stars paying tribute to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after his sacking - calling him 'an outstanding human being'.

United finally pulled the trigger on the Norwegian on Sunday morning in the wake of the club's humiliating 4-1 defeat by lowly Watford, with the club now looking for an interim manager to lead them through the season.

Solskjaer had faced growing calls from fans to leave his post during a campaign of struggles - with the Red Devils now 12 points off Chelsea at the top of the table despite splashing out on three major signings, including the high profile Ronaldo.
