MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said Cristiano Ronaldo had shown his mental strength again by grabbing a stoppage-time winner in their 2-1 victory over Villarreal in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Ronaldo had little impact on the game until he struck in the fifth minute of stoppage time to give United a barely deserved victory against the Spaniards.
