Manchester United, 13:22, August 16, 2008 ,
Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo is on course to return to action at the start of October.
The Portugal international had ankle surgery after Euro 2008 earlier in the summer and was ruled out for three months.
And Fergie has revealed the 23-year-old's recovery has been better than expected at the time of the operation.
"Cristiano has been doing excellently. He is well ahead of schedule," said Ferguson. "The specialist was surprised the condition he was in.
"The next three weeks he will have rehab and then the next part will be endurance work and serious running before he goes into the football side with us.
"There has been no problem, his progress has been great. He has never missed a session morning or afternoon. We are pencilling him in for the beginning of October."
