Ronaldo Meets United Officials

Cristiano Ronaldo met up with officials from Manchester United yesterday, though Sir Alex Ferguson and Chief Executive David Gill were nowhere to be seen - he was merely having a check up on an injury to his right ankle.

A statement on the Manchester United website read: "Manchester United medical staff met with the medical teams of the Portuguese FA and Cristiano Ronaldo in Lisbon on Wednesday regarding the ongoing treatment of an injury to his right ankle."

"As a result, further specialist advice is being sort and an announcement will be made on any action in due course."

Ronaldo is expected back at training on July 14th, which will be the first chance United get to sit down and talk about his 'dream'.

United's chances of keeping Ronaldo may have taken another hit though, with Assistant Manager, Portuguese compatriot and close friend Carlos Queiroz expected to be offered the Portugal national side post.
