Ronaldo included in Madrid’s Super Cup squad
Real Madrid striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, may be fielded in the UEFA Super Cup match against his former club Manchester United.
There had been speculations over the 32-year-old’s involvement in the game after he was afforded an extra-long holiday following his Fifa Confederations Cup exploits in Russia.
But the Twitter handle of the La Liga champions have posted a 24-man squad which included the Portuguese forward to take on the Red Devils.

Ronaldo only returned to training over the weekend, having not played a minute of pre-season action, and had been expected to miss the trip to Skopje, Macedonia.
The Ballon d’Or winner and current highest-paid athlete will now reunite with his former club, Manchester United, on Tuesday.
