Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to have surgery on his ankle early next week and may miss the start of the new season.
The specialist echoed the view of medics from United and the Portuguese FA that the problem requires surgery.
The Manchester United winger could be sidelined for up to six weeks, and may miss the start of the new season.
Ronaldo was not going on United's pre-season tour of South Africa anyway, but surgery could make him a doubt for the Premier League start on 16 August.
The 23-year-old initially met with United's club doctors and Portuguese FA staff in Lisbon on Wednesday to assess the extent of his injury.
Ronaldo revealed after the European Championships that he had been playing with the problem for weeks, and felt it required an operation.
