Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted with the way Cristiano Ronaldo's recovery from ankle surgery is progressing.
The 23-year-old Portugal ace, who was the subject of the summer's major transfer saga, is expected back in action in early October, having pledged his future to United after Real Madrid made moves to sign him up.
Ferguson said: "Cristiano has been doing excellently and he is well ahead of schedule. The specialist was surprised the condition he was in.
"The next three weeks he will have rehab and then the next part will be endurance work and serious running, before he goes into the football side with us.
"There has been no problem, his progress has been great. He has never missed a session morning or afternoon.
"We are pencilling him in for the beginning of October."
