Ahead of Manchester United's first Champions League game against the Young Boys (Tuesday, 19:55), the Red Devils coach has stated he will give the Portuguese a rest • Jesse Lingard is expected to start in the squad against the Swiss


Manchester United will start their way to the Champions League tomorrow (Tuesday, 19:55, Sport 5) when they host the Swiss Young Boys.

Ahead of the game, Ola Gunnar Solskjaer told the media that he would have to cleverly manage Cristiano Ronaldo's minutes and stated that the 36-year-old Portuguese can not expect to play in every game, which is already expected to sit on the bench tomorrow.

As you may recall, it was only on Saturday that Ronaldo made his comeback at Old Trafford with two goals in a 1-4 win over Newcastle, but his coach is aware that he needs to get some rest.

"It's not impossible to keep him out, he will not play in every game," Solskjaer said.

"He's 36. Mason Greenwood is 19 so it's the same thing. I have to manage his minutes and I also have to manage the minutes of a 36 - year - old boy. Besides Ronaldo knows himself very well physically."

Who is expected to replace Ronaldo in the squad tomorrow is Jesse Lingard who came off the bench against Newcastle and scored the fourth in favor of the Red Devils.

The England international has impressed during his loan spell at West Ham last year and Solchiar claims Lingard is expected to be a significant part of United's squad this year.

"Jesse has been through his hard times and is a lovely kid, or a man now," he added. "I wanted to keep him on the squad because I know how good he is and he showed everyone with West Ham and England what a player he is. He is a Manchester United fan. He grew up in club clothes and I know how much he wants to play in the team uniform. I am happy to give him the stage."
