(Reuters) - Cristiano Ronaldo is as sharp as when he scored twice for Real Madrid in the Champions League final in June and is ready to face Manchester United in the European Super Cup, the Spanish club's coach Zinedine Zidane said on Monday.

Ronaldo was allowed to report for pre-season training later than his team mates after playing in the Confederations Cup with Portugal and missed the Liga team's tour of the United States, instead going on a promotional tour of Asia.
