Fergie: We'll Wait on Ronny

Sir Alex Ferguson insists that Manchester United will not be rushing back Cristiano Ronaldo, even though the quality Portuguese striker has started the club's full training again after two months out.

"If a player is out for a certain period there is no point rushing it," said the Red Devils boss. "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."

"The plan was to give him one month of rehabilitation work, jogging and aerobic work in the gymnasium," he said. "It is difficult to say with young players and long-term injury but Cristiano is making good progress."
