Ronaldo available vs Spurs | Rangnick: I don't know if he's happy

Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Raphael Varane will be available for Manchester United's crunch Premier League clash with Tottenham on Saturday, live on Sky Sports.

United were without the experienced trio for last weekend's chastening 4-1 derby loss to Manchester City but are set to be boosted by their returns for the visit of top-four rivals Spurs.

Luke Shaw remains absent having first tested positive for Covid-19 last week and Scott McTominay is a doubt, but interim boss Ralf Rangnick expects Ronaldo, Cavani and Varane to be available.

"With regard to players, we will still miss out on Luke Shaw," Rangnick said. "Until yesterday he's still been testing positive for Covid.

"Scotty is a question mark. He had some problems with his calf so we have to wait and see until today after training.

"But right now I think it's more likely he will not be available because if we risk him tomorrow he will more likely be out for the game on Tuesday again.

"That's why I tend to with some muscular issues, even more so if it's the calf muscle, to be careful.

"(Ronaldo) resumed training yesterday. He trained the whole training session and I expect him to be in training today as well.

"He trained well so I would've thought he's available for tomorrow."

Last weekend, Rangnick said Ronaldo missed Sunday's Manchester derby due to a hip injury, but former United captain and Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane thought something about the forward's absence "didn't add up".

It was just the second Premier League game Ronaldo, who has scored just one goal in his last 10 appearances, has missed since rejoining United this season.

The 37-year-old's absence also appeared to be questioned by his sister, Katia Aveiro, after she liked an Instagram post
