Man United face off with Thomas Frank’s Brentford at 5:30 pm UK this coming Saturday.
Ahead of the tie, Ten Hag discussed a number of topics in his press conference, including team news. The former Ajax boss confirmed Anthony Martial and Victor Lindelof remain out: “It’s still the same,” he told MUTV of their injury situation after they both missed the Brighton defeat.
He also provided an update on Cristiano Ronaldo: “So he had a good training week, I thought he played a little bit longer than half an hour, he’s had two half games and for the starting XI we will see tomorrow. My decision, I keep it.”
Ten Hag was then asked about potential incomings this summer: “I’m happy, I think we’re cooperating really well, I cannot tell about any individuals, I cannot talk about players under contract at other clubs.”
On Marcus Rashford, who was linked with PSG on Thursday, Ten Hag added: “He’s a really important player, you have seen from the first day I’m here, I’m really happy with him, I don’t want to lose him, he’s definitely in our plans at Manchester United.”
