CRISTIANO RONALDO has revealed he is planning to have face-to-face talks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer about his role at Manchester United.
The 36-year-old has sealed an emotional return to the Theatre of Dreams after penning a two-year deal from Serie A giants Juventus.
Ronaldo has won four Champions League titles since departing Old Trafford for Real Madrid 12 years ago, but he has insisted he is as hungry as ever to win trophies.
And with Solskjaer yet to win silverware as the Red Devils boss, Ronaldo has vowed that his former team-mate can count on him to deliver.
Speaking to United’s website about whether he has spoken to the Norwegian gaffer, he said: “Well, we had a chat.
“But of course I’m going to have time to speak with him face to face, to know what he expects.
“As you know, I played with him for two or three years at Manchester United so I have a good relationship with him but now with a different role, I’m a player and he’s a coach.
“But it doesn’t matter, my relationship with him is great and as I say before, I’m there in Manchester to help the team achieve his results and the coach can count on me for whatever he wants. So I’m available for everything.”

Commenting on his switch from Italy back to England, Ronaldo remarked: “I think it’s the best decision that I have made it. It’s right on point in my opinion.
“I moved from Juve now to Manchester, it’s a new chapter, I’m so happy and glad, and I want to carry on again, to make history, to try to help Manchester achieve great results, to win trophies and number one of them, to win great things.”
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner also revealed the role former manager Sir Alex Ferguson played in bringing him back to United.
Ronaldo dedicated his move to United to the legendary Scotsman after his transfer was announced.
Asked about the part Fergie played in the transfer, he stated: “As everybody knows, since I signed for Manchester [United] at 18, Sir Alex Ferguson was the key.
“I remember when we played against Manchester when I was at Sporting Lisbon. For me, Sir Alex Ferguson is like a father in football for me.
“He helped me a lot, he taught me many things, and in my opinion of course he had a big role because the relationship that we had, we keep in touch all the time, and he’s an unbelievable person.
“I really like him a lot and he was the main key for me to be in the position that I am, that I signed for Manchester United.”
