During his pre-Everton press conference, Ten Hag revealed that Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, and Rasmus Hojlundare on track to rejoin the squad in time for the crucial clash.
Ten Hag provided updates on the injured trio, indicating that Wan-Bissaka had resumed training on the pitch, while Maguire is expected to rejoin the squad in the upcoming week. Additionally, there is optimism surrounding Hojlund’s recovery, with the Danish forward hopeful of making his return to action as well.
The potential availability of Rasmus Hojlund holds significant importance for Manchester United, considering his impactful contributions since his summer transfer from Atalanta, where he has notched an impressive tally of 13 goals in 30 appearances.
However, should Hojlund be unavailable for the Northwest Derby, it could present a favorable scenario for Liverpool as they seek to capitalize on any potential weaknesses in the United lineup.
Looking ahead to the showdown against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, Ten Hag acknowledged the magnitude of the fixture and emphasized the importance of meticulous planning and preparation.
With both teams eyeing victory in this crucial derby encounter, anticipation is high as the stage is set for a fiercely contested battle between two historic rivals.
