"As a result, further specialist advice is being sought and an announcement will be made on any action in due course." Ronaldo revealed after the European Championship that he had been playing with a foot injury, which he felt required an operation. He is not due back at United for another fortnight and manager Sir Alex Ferguson is yet to speak to him about the statements from Real Madrid - which went unchecked by the player - during Euro 2008. After Portugal were knocked out in the quarter-finals, Ronaldo spoke of his desire for a "dream" move to Real, but United insisted the winger was not for sale.</div> [Source]
