He is too scared of the Prima donnas in the team I think
They messed it all up buying Ronaldo. At the last minute... the wool got pulled over their eyes because of sentiment.
Fernandes did so well. Was the star of the team, and they had just gotten over Pogba. They didn't have to pander to him anymore.
They then got Sancho and he was supposed to be the man leading the attack... then Ronaldo and his agent decided to slip back into the old joint quickly to pick their pockets before retiring!
Ole had slowly started to build that team- a grotesque team in his own image, but he made some basic smart moves, until Ronaldo fell into his lap.
Now Sancho's rotting on the bench. Even his old club recently expressed their sadness over seeing him being wasted away.
Ronaldo has to play every game. What Ronaldo says, goes! How Ronaldo behaves, the team follows!
