Ronaldo king of the kids for Turkey trot

ALEX FERGUSON bundled Cristiano Ronaldo aboard Manchester United’s charter flight to Turkey with a reminder to the precocious Portuguese teenager that he is still just a kid.

With qualification for the Champions League knock-out phase already assured ahead of tonight’s final Group D encounter with Fenerbahce, Ferguson had previously declared his intention to spare the senior members of his squad the eight-hour round trip to Istanbul.

The Scot dutifully kept his promise, with one notable exception in Ronaldo, the only member of United’s travelling party who started Saturday’s 3-0 Premiership win over Southampton.
