Manchester United must not live in fear of former star Cristiano Ronaldo when he returns to Old Trafford for the deciding Champions League clash with Real Madrid, Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed.
“If we worry about the danger Cristiano can give us we will forget some of the things we can do ourselves.”
“What do you expect when you play against a team with Cristiano in it?” said Ferguson. “You expect problems during the match. We have to try to curtail that as much as we can and as best we can.
“The experience young Rafael had in the first half in Madrid hopefully helps him because he will be given the same task again.”
Ronaldo scored Real’s goal in the 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu – leaving the last 16 tie delicately balanced ahead of Tuesday’s second leg.
