Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will be part of the matchday squad for tomorrow’s Europa league tie with Sheriff Tiraspol at Old Trafford.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the game, the manager also confirmed Raphael Varane will be absent from all pre-World Cup games with injury.
Ten Hag was asked whether Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire and Donny van de Beek would be available for tomorrow’s match, having returned to training.
“After the training together with medical I will take a decision,” he said.
Christian Eriksen also took part at the press conference, which could indicate his participation in the match.
Ten Hag was asked whether Facundo Pellistri is expected to play a part in the side going forward.
“He was injured a long period, Atletico Madrid a bad injury,” he said.
“We have some young players in offensive positions, they have to convince me to be in the team, and he is one of the options.”
Ten Hag was also asked about Harry Maguire.
“It’s always about performance. I think when he’s reflecting his qualities, there’s no problem.”
