JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo has the opportunity to appear as a starter in the Manchester United (MU) match against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League. This follows the condition of Marcus Rashford who is confirmed to be absent from defending the Red Devils.

Quoted from Sportskeeda, Thursday, MU traveled to Moldova for the second match of the Champions League Group E phase on Thursday night. Ahead of the match, the Red Devils are ensured to be in good health and fit.

The reason is, MU has not appeared in any other match after losing 0-1 to Real Sociedad in the opening match of the Europa League. MU's absence is on another schedule because all matches in domestic competitions have been postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

After the mourning period ended, MU continued their performance against the Sheriff. For Ronaldo, this match opened up opportunities for him to start like against Sociedad.

Coach Erik Ten Hag confirmed that Rashford was injured and did not travel to Moldova. If Ronaldo was sent down from the start in this match, he would also be the sole striker ahead.

The five-time Ballon d'Or title winner may be accompanied by Anthony Elanga and Jadon Sancho again. Just like against Sociedad.

It is also certain that Ten Hag will reduce its best composition considering that the Sheriff cannot be underestimated. They started the Europa League with a 3-0 win over ACentnia.

Not to mention, in the Champions League group stage last season, they were able to beat the Spanish giant and European King Real Madrid with a score of 2-1 at home.
