Ronaldo hoping to be fit for friendly against Manchester United
CRISTIANO RONALDO is hoping his knee recovers well enough for him to return to action in Saturday's friendly against his former club Manchester United in Michigan.
The Portugal captain and World Player of the Year has been hampered by a left knee problem in recent months and was clearly below his best at the World Cup in Brazil, where the Portuguese failed to progress beyond the group stage.
"He did two sessions today and he is working well on his own," said Real Madrid coach Ancelotti after his side were beaten 1-0 by AS Roma in Dallas.
"Let's see if in the next few days he can train with the team and can play against Manchester. We have to be careful. Right now we have to be calm."
