Has Fergie really snubbed Ronaldo following ankle op?

No surprise to learn that Marca, the unofficial **** stirring press organ of Real Madrid are today reporting that Fergie hasn't contacted Ronaldo following his recent ankle operation.

The claim is that the relationship between player and manager is now frosty. If this story came from another source it might be more credible and of course Real Madrid would love it to be true, wouldn't they? And in any case, how would Marca know if Fergie has spoken to Ronlado or failing that has at least tried to call him as he reportedly did to no avail during Euro 2008?

You can say many things about Ferguson, but stupid he is not, not at least where the future of his star player is concerned. Privately, Fergie will no doubt be livid with Ronaldo given his lack of commitment to United over the last few weeks, but make no mistake the manager realises that retaining Ronaldo is key to the Reds chances of winning more silerware in what will likely be his last season in charge of the Red Devils.

For the sake of keeping up appearances whatever Fergie thinks of Ronaldo, we are unlikely to find out until he publishes another book, until that time it is likely that Ronlado will be welcomed back into the United squad with open arms.
