"Cristiano has shown great loyalty in five years, but has had a turbulent summer, when much has been said.
"But we had a meeting in Portugal in June and the matter was over. Since then has been devoted to getting fit and commit to the club."
Ronaldo has made a timely return of an ankle injury with United travelling to title rivals Chelsea on Sunday.
Fergie added: "It would be a big ask for him to play from the start on Sunday. But undoubtedly will have much better chance of selection thereafter."
