Erik ten Hag and his Manchester United squad travelled to London after training on Saturday ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash against Fulham.

It will be the first game of the season that Diogo Dalot won’t be in the starting line-up because the Portuguese full-back is suspended for the match. On top of that, there is no place for Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the travelling squad, with Tyrell Malacia likely to play on the right flank.

Of course, Dalot is not the only Portuguese player at United who is totally focused on the World Cup at this point. Cristiano Ronaldo joins him as he looks set to miss United’s final game before the World Cup, after missing training because of illness.

According to the Manchester Evening News, some United players were heckled by a Manchester City fan while making their way into the train station.

There is no place in the squad for Jadon Sancho and Antony, so Ten Hag has limited options up front this weekend, as seen below.
