Ronaldo available to play for Man Utd against Arsenal following death of baby son

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo is available for selection for the club's Premier League clash with Arsenal.

The 37-year-old missed the Red Devils' 4-0 defeat to Liverpool following the tragic death of his baby son.

After confirming he had returned home with partner Georgina Rodriguez, Ronaldo returned to training on Thursday and Rangnick has now confirmed he is in line to feature against the Gunners.

The German told reporters: "Ronaldo is available again, he's been training with us now."

Regarding the fitness of Scott McTominay, Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba, Rangnick added: "Scott will be back and is fit to play. He will be available tomorrow, same as Raphael [Varane].

"Paul Pogba is out, it seems after the scan it is very unlikely that he will play before the end of the end of the season. The doctor told me it will take four weeks minimum and the last game is end of May, so I don’t think it will be very likely."

It would appear that Ronaldo will definitely feature against Arsenal in Saturday's Premier League clash at Emirates Stadium, that kicks off at 12:30 BST.

Having returned to training following the tragic news that his baby son had died, Ronaldo posted an image on Instagram to confirm he, and partner Rodriguez, had returned home from hospital, along with their new-born daughter.

Indeed, United posted images on their Instagram page on Thursday to reveal that Ronaldo had rejoined training with the rest of his team-mates at Carrington.
