All eyes will be on Old Trafford
tomorrow and many will be focused on Cristiano Ronaldo, who is making
his first appearance back at Manchester United since leaving
three-and-a-half years ago for a world record £80million.
And
it was the same today as he, along with the rest of his Real Madrid
team-mates, put in a final training shift before the titanic Champions
League clash.
Manager
Jose Mourinho has taken the unusual step of choosing to train at the
Etihad Stadium, the home of United's rivals City, rather than Old
Trafford.
Real have, of course, already been to
City's stadium this summer having drawn Roberto Mancini's side in the
group stages of the Champions League. Ronaldo turned out
wearing tracksuit bottoms and a woolly hat despite the Manchester
sunshine and went through a series of light stretches during the 15
minutes open to the media.
Speaking in his press conference, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was well aware of who the danger man will be. He said: ‘My biggest concern is if Cristiano turns up. What do you expect when you play against a team with Ronaldo in it?' He added: ‘You expect problems on the
night. We have to try and curtail that as best as we can. It won’t be
easy as he does it every week.
