Cristiano Ronaldo goes for a jog

Manchester UnitedÂ’s Cristiano Ronaldo made a start today on his fitness training for the season ahead.

It is expected that the Portuguese winger would be ready by the beginning of October and even though his recovery period could be ahead of schedule, Manchester UnitedÂ’s manager Sir Alex Ferguson is unlikely to rush him back into the fray.

However Sir Alex expressed his delight at his wingerÂ’s progress and said that it was not worth risking him any further for one extra game or so.
