The Mirror says although the Reds boss has been left red-faced as the club reel from details of Ronaldo's steamy exploits with four high-class hookers, a club insider has suggested he and teammates Anderson and Nani will get off with a mere rollicking from the boss.

The club insider said: "No doubt he'll have a word or three in the lads' ears.

"But everyone knows they're single lads and, although it wasn't the best publicity, they'll probably escape with a typical Fergie rollicking then be told to get on with what they do best - play brilliant football."
