In anticipation of Manchester United’s upcoming Premier League face-off against Chelsea, manager Erik ten Hag addressed the media at Carrington after a press conference.

Seeking redemption from the recent loss to Newcastle United, Ten Hag is carefully considering his lineup options for the Thursday night kick-off at Old Trafford.

Despite facing numerous player absences this season, with Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, and Casemiro sidelined, the manager remains optimistic about potential comebacks.

Players like Jonny Evans, Mason Mount, Christian Eriksen, and Mason Mount are nearing a return, but Ten Hag clarified they won’t be available for this match.

Emphasizing the need to manage players’ workloads amid a busy schedule, Ten Hag expressed confidence in fielding a formidable squad against Chelsea.

A win is crucial for Manchester United, who’s coming under big scuritiny, particularly towards the manner they lost against Newcastle at St. James’ Park last weekend.
