Ronaldo will not be rushed
Manchester United, 12:30, August 23, 2008 ,
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted he has no intention of rushing superstar Cristiano Ronaldo back to action.
Ferguson confirmed on Friday the Portugal international is back in light training from pre-season ankle surgery but that it would be foolish to throw him straight back under the spotlight.
The 23-year-old is on course to return at the beginning of October but Ferguson said he will only consider his star man once he has been given the green light by the club's medical staff.
"If a player is out for a certain period there is no point rushing it," said Ferguson
"You may as well wait the extra week or two to make sure they don't suffer any setbacks.
"Sometimes the age of a player helps with their recovery.
"Cristiano may get back quicker. But we are not putting him under any pressure.
"We have to let the physios do their job properly."
