Gary Neville insists Ole Gunnar Solskjaer MUST 'compensate' for Cristiano Ronaldo's lack of work-rate as he calls on boss to find the right 'balance' in his team amid fears Manchester United's start has been 'WORSE than it looks'

Gary Neville believes that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must 'compensate' for Cristiano Ronaldo's weaknesses if Manchester United are to challenge for the title, as the pundit called on the Norwegian to find the right 'balance'.

Expectations at United have skyrocketed following the 36-year-old's sensational £19.8million return to Old Trafford this summer, with fans hopeful that his relentless goalscoring record can propel the club to the Premier League title.

While Ronaldo has hit the ground running with five goals in seven games, United have often looked lacklustre and entered the international break taking just one point from home games against Aston Villa and Everton.
