Erik ten Hag press conference live Manchester United updates and team news for Fulham fixture

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will address the media today ahead of Saturday's game against Fulham.

United have gone unbeaten in 2024 and results have improved markedly after a disappointing first half of the season, which saw an early exit from the Champions League and the Carabao Cup.

The Reds have built momentum and they have the challenge of facing Fulham next. The London club are in the bottom half of the table but performed well in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup at Old Trafford last season, despite losing the game after a dramatic capitulation.

Ten Hag will look ahead to the match at his press conference, he will likely give updates on Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia along with any other team news, while there will also be questions on Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Ratcliffe spoke at length about United for the first time earlier in the week.

He is a long-term absentee after undergoing two rounds of knee surgery.

While Manchester United wait for Dan Ashworth to be freed from his garden, the new power brokers have a crystal clear vision for the club.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe refused to entertain any remote criticism of Sir Dave Brailsford during Wednesday's briefing with journalists at the Ineos office in Knightsbridge. Brailsford's wheelhouse is cycling yet Ratcliffe is convinced the Ineos sporting director can oversee the transformation of United into a credible footballing force again.

Ratcliffe was dismissive of the infamous Jiffy bag case and the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport select committee's conclusion that Team Sky "crossed an ethical line" on Brailsford's watch. Ratcliffe scoffed at the mention of Sir Clive Woodward, the England Rugby World Cup-winning coach
