JAKARTA - Manchester United can perform full teams against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League match. Manager Erik ten Hag admitted that for the first time he was able to field his best squad when United visited Wolves' headquarters at the Molineux Stadium, Friday, February 3, 2024 in the morning WIB.
MU star players have recovered from injury and are ready to appear. MU can also field the strongest team. Defender Leandro Martinez, who has been absent for a long time due to injury, was played when Manchester United won 4-2 over Newport County in the FA Cup match.
Likewise Casemiro and Luke Shaw. They had already warmed up against the bottom division team before facing a crucial match in the Premier League.
Mid-back Harry Maguire also performed even though it was only for a short time. This is Maguire's first appearance since December 2, 2023 due to a groin injury. Previously, Maguire appeared successful when Martinez was not around.
Other news, goalkeeper Andre Onana has returned after defending Cameroon in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. Cameroon has been eliminated in the last 16 so Onana immediately joined MU.
Only Onana is likely to be reserved. Moreover, goalkeeper Altay Baymend Badminton played quite well in the match against Newport despite conceding twice.
"Yes, this is the first time during my time as a manager, we were able to lower the squad that I think is strongest," said Ten Hag.
The former Ajax Amsterdam coach said it was important for the team with the return of the pillar players. "I believe this is very important. Now, their condition is 100% fit. The match against Newport is very helpful for them. But we are facing a match in the Premier League which has higher intensity," he said.
"The previous match really helped them prepare for the next match. We are also ready for Thursday's match [Friday, early morning WIB]," said Ten Hag.
Ten Hag brought in an incomplete team during this season's competition. He had to overhaul his squad frequently because he lost pillar players. Plus the decline in Marcus Rashford's performance and the sharpness of the Rasmus Hojlund striker.
When his performance did not improve, Rashford even violated discipline several times. Finally, he was engrossed in clubbing when he missed training ahead of the FA Cup match. Rashford was caught visiting a nightclub in Belfast.
Rashford seems to be Ten Hag's next problem after Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho
