Cristiano Ronaldo could miss Manchester United's top-four showdown with Tottenham on Saturday to ensure he is fully fit for the Champions League.
United host Tottenham at Old Trafford this weekend in a game they must win to get their top-four push back on track after last Sunday's humiliating 4-1 derby mauling at Manchester City.
Ronaldo missed that defeat with a recurrence of a hip flexor problem and flew to Portugal for a mini-break to recuperate, before reporting back for duty at United's training complex on Tuesday.
