Following Ronaldo’s penalty for Spurs’ actions, Ten Hag will start without two forwards against Potter in Chelsea.
During the Premier League match between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, Marcus Rashford of Manchester United watches.
Manchester United will travel to Stamford Bridge on Saturday without two strikers, according to Erik ten Hag.
The news is released when Cristiano Ronaldo, who earlier this week refused to be substituted against Tottenham, is demoted to training alone. Then, Ronaldo started to leave the tunnel.

Under Potter, Chelsea has gone seven games without a loss and has recorded five straight clean sheets. They now know Anthony Martial isn’t eligible for selection and won’t have to worry about stopping Ronaldo.
The 26-year-old is still sidelined due to a back ailment that required him to leave the field against Everton during the first half last week. Martial was not present for United’s games against Newcastle and Tottenham.
His first team dreams at Old Trafford are still being hampered by injuries, although he has scored twice and provided twice assists in four outings this season. He has only played for less than 150 minutes so far this campaign. He has been essentially replaced by new acquisition Antony, who has three goals through his first five league appearances.
He has been paired with Marcus Rashford, whose form has improved after a disappointing 2021/22 season. The 24-year-old is looking for a chance to wow Gareth Southgate ahead of the World Cup. He has three league goals, one fewer than he scored all of last season.
Since the European Championships final last year, Rashford has not featured for his nation and has lost favor. At the competition, he failed to make a single start, and he hasn’t been selected for a team since. However, based on how he has performed this year, Southgate might want to reconsider. Rashford is probably going to be among the hopefuls given that the tentative 55-man roster will soon be revealed, giving them three weeks to make an impression.
