Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has disclosed that there is hope for the availability of Christian Eriksen, Luke Shaw, and Harry Maguire in the upcoming clash against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The Red Devils are set to face Spurs in a pivotal match for both teams in their pursuit of European qualification. Since their reverse fixture in August, where Tottenham secured a win, United has faced a series of injury setbacks, with key players spending time on the sidelines this season.
Following United’s 2-0 victory away at Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup’s third round, Ten Hag acknowledged the possibility of three players returning for the weekend. However, he clarified that the £60m summer signing, Mason Mount, would likely need more time.

Eriksen was unexpectedly absent from Monday’s Wigan trip due to illness, which also sidelined Amad Diallo, with Antony additionally omitted due to injury.
In terms of transfer activity, Ten Hag addressed inquiries about potential loan signings for United, stating, “We consider everything, the best interest of the player and for us, our team. We will see how it progresses during the window.”
