Harry Maguire and Ronaldo back – Man United Predicted XI vs FC Sheriff – confirmed team news and injury latest

Cristiano Ronaldo might return to Manchester United’s starting lineup in the Europa League against FC Sheriff.

The Portuguese striker was left out of the team for the weekend match against Chelsea due to his actions in the previous win over Tottenham, but he is set to return in some way on Thursday night.

When Ten Hag speaks to the media later today, he will most likely clarify Ronaldo’s status and the newest team news.

As he recovers from a back injury, Anthony Martial may keep the veteran out of the starting lineup.

Raphael Varane, who went down with a knee injury over the weekend and is expected to be out for three to four weeks, is one sure absentee.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, and Brandon Williams have all returned to training following injuries, while Donny van de Beek is still out.

If given the opportunity, Ten Hag might rest Lisandro Martinez at the back, as the Argentine is one yellow card away from a Europa League suspension.

United simply needs a point to advance to the next round, but a win is likely to keep them in contention to win Group E.

Manchester United’s predicted starting XI: De Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Malacia; Fred, McTominay; Antony, Fernandes, Elanga; Rashford.
