Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to be Manchester United manager over the next 18 months.
Tim Sherwood has stated the audacious claim that Cristiano would be ready to take over at Old Trafford sooner than expected.
He hopes the 36-year-old will take over as manager when he retires, as evidenced by an event during Sunday's 2-1 victory against West Ham.
"I guess Cristiano being on the bench is fine, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have to understand that. If he gets him to his football team, you have to recognize what you're getting in "Sherwood said Ladbrokes, according to CaughtOffside.

He recognizes what he is expected to do, and if he feels compelled to stand next to the club's management and provide directives, you must enable him to do so.
I'm not clear he'd do it with Jose Mourinho, but it would be a very different situation, so you should question Cristiano about why he feels the need to step up and offer advice in the first place.
We saw him to do it before, most notably during the Euros, yelling commands. That guy is going to become a manager. Surely 100%.

I'd bet on him becoming Man Utd's manager within the next 18 months. When Cristiano retires, I believe he will be a manager; it'll be a simple option.
Ex Tottenham manager Sherwood then stated that current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would most probably be secure if he wins a major prize this season.
If they don't, Ronaldo is ready for them in the wings.

Ole Gunnar will continue his position, if they won the titles like Champion Leagues, Premier Leagues and so on, and if they don't, I think they will have a new experienced manager in the future.

"He might take in an experienced coach, such as Carlos Queiroz, since he'll know quite a lot of them, so I can see Ronaldo as a manager at Manchester Utd in the future."
Before to kick-off, Ronaldo was seen speaking with central defenders Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane.
He goal the equalised after West Ham had taken the lead with Said Benrahma's deflected attempt.
Jesse Lingard hammered home his 2nd goal in 3 matches in the 89th minute to give the game a victory.
Do you believe Cristiano Ronaldo will ever be the manager of Man United?
