Ronaldo has not returned
to Man Utd since the end
of the season.
Cristiano Ronaldo is now
expected to have surgery on
his ankle early next week
after seeing a specialist on
Friday.
The specialist echoed the
view of medics from United
and the Portuguese FA that
the problem requires surgery.
The Manchester United winger could be sidelined for up
to six weeks, and may miss the start of the new season.
Ronaldo was not going on United's pre-season tour of
South Africa anyway, but surgery could make him a doubt
for the Premier League start on 16 August.
The 23-year-old initially met with United's club doctors
and Portuguese FA staff in Lisbon on Wednesday to assess
the extent of his injury.
Ronaldo revealed after the European Championships that
he had been playing with the problem for weeks, and felt it
required an operation.
United reiterated their stance on Friday that the winger
is "not for sale" amid reports that a move to Real Madrid
is imminent.
"It is utter nonsense and totally laugh-able," said a club
spokesman.
