Cristiano Ronaldo named in Real Madrid squad to face Manchester United


Cristiano Ronaldo has been named in Real Madrid's squad for the UEFA Super Cup clash with Manchester United.

The Champions League winners are 19/20 favourites to win the tie, which takes place in Skopje on Tuesday night (live on BT Sport 2), while the Europa League champions are 13/5 to triumph, with the draw priced at 13/5.

Ronaldo, who is 7/2 favourite to score first and 5/6 to net anytime, was given an extended break following his part in Portugal's Confederations Cup campaign, before appearing at a Spanish court to answer charges relating to his tax returns.

The 32-year-old forward has denied he evaded tax or hid details of his income from the authorities - charges that led the world's best player to seriously consider a move away from the Bernabeu earlier in the summer.

However, the Portuguese appears set to stay put and, despite only just returning to training, has been included in the 24-man squad taking on former club United in Macedonia.
