Juventus striker Ronaldo clear to face Man Utd

Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to be available for their Champions League clash with former club Manchester United.

Ronaldo is suspended for the Champions League clash against Young Boys on October 2 after being sent off against Valencia.

However, the Mirror says Uefa sources have suggested a disciplinary panel are unlikely to punish Ronaldo, 33, beyond the mandatory one-match ban.

European football's governing body have opened disciplinary proceedings over his red card - but he will not find out the result until Thursday.

They are able to extend Ronaldo's suspension if they feel he committed a "serious offence", though this would be open to appeal.
