Meanwhile, Ferguson has also been looking ahead to United's forthcoming UEFA Champions League clash with Real Madrid - which will see the Red Devils line up against a familiar face. Cristiano Ronaldo built his reputation at Old Trafford, but has gone on to scale even greater heights since leaving for Spain in 2009 - according to Ferguson. "Maturity brings many things," said the Scot. "When I went to see them play against (Manchester) City, some of his decision making in terms of passing was brilliant. One-touch passing, good crosses. "In the six years we had him, you just saw his game grow all the time, and he was a fantastic player. "Now you see the complete player. "His decision-making, his maturity, his experience, plus all the great skills he has got, they all make him the complete player." Manchester Utd v Liverpool is live on Sky Sports 1 this Sunday.
