During his pre-Everton press conference, Ten Hag disclosed that Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, and Rasmus Hojlund are progressing well and are expected to rejoin the squad ahead of the pivotal clash.
Ten Hag provided updates on the injured trio, stating that Wan-Bissaka had resumed training on the pitch, while Maguire is slated to return to the squad in the coming week.
Additionally, there is optimism surrounding Hojlund’s recovery, with the Danish forward aiming to make his comeback to action.
The potential return of Rasmus Hojlund carries significant weight for Manchester United, given his impactful performances since joining from Atalanta, where he has amassed an impressive tally of 13 goals in 30 appearances.
However, if Hojlund is unable to participate in the Northwest Derby, it could create a favorable scenario for Liverpool as they aim to exploit any potential vulnerabilities in the United lineup.
Looking ahead to the clash against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, Ten Hag acknowledged the significance of the fixture and stressed the importance of thorough planning and preparation.
With both teams eager for victory in this crucial derby encounter, excitement is palpable as the stage is set for a fiercely contested battle between two longstanding rivals.
