Ron will stay a wide boy

Alex Ferguson will resist the temptation to make his top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo an out-and-out striker. The Manchester United boss feels his threat on the flank is more vital than his menace in the middle. Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez have formed a deadly partnership up front in the absence of injured striker Louis Saha - while wing wizard Ronaldo terrifies full- backs, lays on crosses and has still scored 27 times. Boss Ferguson said: "There have been occasions, especially when Saha was out and we were relying on Rooney and Tevez, where we’ve considered playing Ronaldo through the middle. He would be a great threat but if you take him away from the wing you lack penetration."
