Manchester United transfer news RECAP plus Manchester derby latest and Jordan Pickford 'interest'

Erik ten Hag sat down with the media today ahead of his first Manchester derby on Sunday.

United go into the clash with City more buoyant than the last time they went to the Etihad Stadium. The Reds have won four on the trot in the Premier League before the international break and a victory will put them just two points behind the Blues with a game in hand.

Ten Hag filled us in on injury concerns his United side have ahead of Sunday but he should be able to rely on one forward who is back in the headlines this weekend. Cristiano Ronaldo was criticised this week following Portugal's 1-0 defeat to Spain in the Nations League.

Critics of Ronaldo were later slammed by the star's sister on social media as she took aim at the Portuguese fans for lambasting her brother. The 37-year-old's future is still a doubt despite remaining with the Reds in the summer transfer window - and his mum has also revealed the club she still wishes to see him play for before he hangs up his boots.

With a World Cup on the horizon, Ronaldo will be keen to get more minutes in the Premier League between now and Qatar. Ten Hag may look towards his experience on Sunday at the Etihad.
