Arsenal boss Wenger: Man Utd clash has Ronaldo in eye of hurricane

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is looking forward to tonight's clash between Real Madrid and Manchester United. And the Arsenal boss believes Cristiano Ronaldo may suffer stage fright in the return at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo, 28, joined Real for £80million from United in 2008 and has hit 34 goals already this term.

Wenger said: "Ronaldo is a great player and can make the difference.

"But he is up against his former club - and that will put him in the eye of a hurricane.

"We'll have to see how he faces up to the return leg. But Madrid against United is as though the final has been brought forward. It is filled with quality."
