Is Cristiano Ronaldo Ready to Lift United?

Cristiano RonaldoCRISTIANO Ronaldo is ready to mount his white charger and come to United's early season rescue.

Last season his 32 league goals were hugely influential as United outscored the Premier League and became champions.

Without him as he recovered from his summer ankle surgery nobody has scored fewer than the Reds in the opening matches.

Three goals from three games sees United needing an urgent injection of attacking power.

The Portuguese winger could be back on Wednesday against Villarreal at Old Trafford as United open the defence of the Champions League.

If the clash with the Spaniards is too early then a comeback could come against Chelsea - the Premier side he last faced - at Stamford Bridge next Sunday.

And that second instalment of the back-to-back heavyweight clashes is a perfect pick-me-up following Saturday's disappointment surrender in the 2-1 defeat at Liverpool according to captain Rio Ferdinand.
