Cristiano Ronaldo looks set to take his place in Manchester United’s travelling party for tomorrow’s Champions League clash with Villarreal after joining in with training this morning.

Cristiano Ronaldo looks set to take his place in Manchester United’s travelling party for tomorrow’s Champions League clash with Villarreal after joining in with training this morning.

The winger limped off towards the end of United’s goalless draw with Aston Villa on Saturday and was considered a major doubt for the match at El Madrigal.

However, he joined in with his team-mates in a session at Carrington this morning, in which Darren Fletcher also played a full part.

The Scotland midfielder missed the Villa clash with a knee injury but now appears ready to travel to Spain.

Dimitar Berbatov, Gary Neville and Danny Welbeck were all absent from training.

Berbatov will miss the trip to Spain with a hamstring injury sustained whilst on international duty for Bulgaria last week.

Neville is still nursing a groin strain picked up in the Carling Cup victory over QPR and is likely to be out for a couple of weeks.
