Ralf Rangnick has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo is a doubt for Manchester United’s clash with West Ham due to a neck injury.
The 36-year-old was unhappy at being substituted in United’s 3-1 victory over Brentford on Wednesday evening but the club have now confirmed that he suffered a neck problem during the game.
Rangnick believes that Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard could both be in contention to make the squad following injury.
Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho did not train on Thursday after attending a funeral on Wednesday and remains a doubt for the match against West Ham at Old Trafford on Saturday.
‘Cristiano is a question mark because he has a problem with his neck,’ Rangnick told MUTV.
‘He received treatment yesterday for two-three hours and we will have to wait to see how he feels today.
‘Edi [Cavani] hasn’t been training with the team yet and will hopefully resume training today and then we’ll take the final decision after the training session today, [around] if he will be available for the game tomorrow.
‘Aaron will still be missing. He’s still ill.
‘Jesse resumed back for training yesterday and he will be training today so he should be available for the game.
‘We need to see where Jadon stands. He didn’t train yesterday. As you know, he attended a funeral on Wednesday and didn’t want to train yesterday as he is still affected by that. We will have to see.
‘I will see him for training today and speak with him after the training session, to see if he is in the state of mind, and also his energy [is there], so he can be available for tomorrow.’
