Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo will not be fit to play in Real Madrid's pre-season match against Manchester United this weekend.
The World Player of the Year was due to face his former club when the European champions take on Louis van Gaal's side in Detroit tomorrow night.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, the coach said: "Ronaldo has been working individually, separate from the team, and he is continuing to work.
"We will not put him out tomorrow, as he has not trained with the full squad. He will train with the squad in Madrid, as we plan to play him in the Super Cup final.
"The plan for Cristiano was right. We programmed a good rest for him. For one month, which started on June 26. We didn't want to take any risks with him, so he will start training with the rest of the squad on August 5."
Real Madrid will face Sevilla in the Super Cup at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on August 12.
