United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has suggested the Portugal star will be out of action until the beginning of October although Ronaldo is targeting a return before then.

"I have never experienced a situation like this, being two months without kicking a ball. I just want to be fully recovered," he told Portuguese broadcaster SIC.

"I am not used to being sidelined. I feel sad, but the worst moment has already gone and I recognise that I must patient.

"I feel well, and the time of kicking a ball is coming. Playing football - this is what makes me happy."

Ronaldo has also been widely touted as a strong candidate for the FIFA World Player of the Year award and the 23-year-old believes he has a good chance.

He added: "I think that I had very positive campaign last season. It would be a dream that becomes reality to win it. Not any player has done what I did last season. I believe I can win it this year."
