Mauro Icardi chips ball over Andre Onana to score goal number 3 against Manchester united

United remain mired in an injury crisis with eight players, five of them defenders, unavailable but Antony could return to the fold after his leave of absence came to an end. “Antony will be in consideration,” Ten Hag said ahead of the game.

“Yesterday was his first time in team training. We have a final training [session] and then we’ll make a decision. But he will be in consideration, yeah. I think the team news is probably [just that] Antony dos Santos can return.”

Erik ten Hag’s side will need to turn things around quickly when they welcome the Turkish giants to Old Trafford after they lost their opening game of the group stages to Bayern Munich. A second successive defeat would begin to put qualification to the knock-out stages in serious jeopardy.
