Cristiano Ronaldo is missing the Manchester derby with a hip injury and Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw are both absent with Covid.
El Manchester United no podrá contar con Cristiano Ronaldo para el derbi del domingo ante el Manchester City. Según pudo saber AS, el delantero no forma parte del equipo de Ralf Rangnick para este encuentro. Se trataría de una ausencia destacadísima para un partido crucial. El portugués, pese a no atravesar un buen momento, es el máximo goleador del equipo con 15 goles en todas las competiciones y sólo se ha perdido un partido por lesión en toda la temporada.
Rangnick on next permanent manager
Cristiano Ronaldo was absent from the Manchester United squad to face Manchester City on Sunday as Ralf Rangnick did not name a recognised striker in his starting line-up at the Etihad. Edinson Cavani also missed out due to injury, while Marcus Rashford was left on the bench as Rangnick opted for Anthony Elanga and Jadon Sancho in a makeshift attack. Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw are also missing for United due to testing positive for coronavirus. Ronaldo could have ended up at City had the final days of the summer transfer window gone differently as United swooped in to ensure the five-time Ballon d'Or winner returned to Old Trafford.
Wijnaldum linked with Aston Villa as PSG exit is likely
Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's derby showdown with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon, with both Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo missing out.
Roy Keane believes debating whether Manchester United are better without Cristiano Ronaldo is a 'dangerous conversation'.
Manchester United will take on the league Champions in the Manchester derby later today, and Ralf Rangnick could make some huge changes to his team ahead of the clash which could either pay off massively or put the side in a vulnerable position in the pursuit of a top-four finish in the Premier League.
