Meanwhile, Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund will miss out as they continue their recovery from injury.

“Rasmus Hojlund and Luke Shaw, they are progressing very well, but are not ready for this game,” Ten Hag said at his press conference, as quoted by ManUtd.com.

“Manuel Ugarte, I think we all have seen he played for Uruguay. He returned this afternoon, he was the only player who returned today.
