Cristiano Ronaldo out till October

Cristiano Ronaldo might not feature in a competitive game until October, the Portuguese national team’s physiotherapist Antonio Gaspar has revealed. Gaspar has also said that he is in touch with the Manchester United back room staff as well as the surgeon who operated on Ronaldo.

This news is bound to dampen spirits at Real Madrid, as it decreases the possibility of a transfer. At the very least, it is bound to decrease Real’s offer for the Portuguese star man. Incidentally, Fabio Cannavaro, Real Madrid and Italy defender, has said that Ronaldo must respect his contract with United, another indictment of Sepp Blatter’s stupid remarks about slavery in modern football.

The news from Portugal does also mean that Manchester United have to do without their top goalscorer for the past couple of seasons for at least six weeks into the new season. Sir Alex Ferguson had earlier suggested that United are in the market for just one player. If he does not buy a cover for Ronaldo, then expect to see a plethora of players — Darren Fletcher, Nani, Owen Hargreaves, Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez — being tried on the wings.
