Cristiano Ronaldo ordered to return to Man Utd on July 28
-
Sir Alex Ferguson has ordered Cristiano Ronaldo to return to Manchester United in two weeks to finally put an end to the ongoing saga surrounding his future.
Fergie was said to be furious at Ronaldo agreeing with FIFA chief Sepp Blatter that the United winger had been treated like a slave by his club, for not allowing him to complete his dream move to Real Madrid - who intended to unveil him on July 7.
United embark on a 10-day preseason tour of South Africa next Thursday and return on July 28, the day Fergie wants Ronaldo back at their Carrington training base for clear-the-air talks.
Although Ronaldo will not be able to join in pre-season training after undergoing ankle surgery, Fergie wants him under his wing to begin his recuperation and end the circus surrounding his future. United have lost patience with Ronaldo and took exception to his claim that he had been treated like a modern-day slave.
Despite United's firm stance, Ronaldo's desire to join Real is stronger than ever following an interview on Portuguese TV in which he admitted he wanted a fresh challenge. He refused to pledge his future to the Reds.
There is a belief among the United hierarchy that getting Ronaldo back to Manchester as soon as he is able to begin his rehab would go a long way to ending the destabilising effect of the constant speculation concerning where he will be playing next season.

i think he should just rot in the reserves. that should teach him a lesson. ferguson already said that he is tempted to do this.
