​Ronaldo set to face Man Utd in Champions League

Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo will be available to play former club Manchester United next month after Uefa ruled he must serve only a one-match ban for his Champions League red card.

The 33 year old was sent off during Juve's 2-0 win over Valencia last week after appearing to pull defender Jeison Murillo's hair.

It was the first Champions League red card of Ronaldo's career.

Juventus play United in Group H at Old Trafford on 23 October.
