Man Utd boss Ferguson: Ronaldo is ready

Ronaldo has been out of action with an ankle injury since June.

“Ronaldo is training now, he’s with the first team. He’s come on leaps and bounds and I may take him with us tomorrow, who knows? But he’s more likely to be involved next week,” Ferguson told United’s official website.

“I think we mentioned a couple of weeks ago he was making rapid progress in terms of overcoming the injury problem he had and the training he’s been doing with the physios and Tony Strudwick the fitness coach.

“He’s been making great strides in the direction towards first-team football.”
