Cristiano Ronaldo has ordered his Manchester United team-mates to forget all about the Champions League Final for now.

"Our focus must be on the Premier Ron: Premis priority League title," said Ronaldo.

"We want to do the Double. To do that we have to first win the title, then the Champions League.

"We have two games left in the league against WestHam and Wigan - and if we win them both we're champions. There is time for us to look forward to that, but first the Premier League is the most important thing."

Nemanja Vidic is set to return on Saturday against West Ham - but Wayne Rooney is still struggling with the hip problem that kept him out against Barca.
