Training session ahead of Sporting CP clash

Erik ten Hag put his Manchester United players through their paces at Carrington on Tuesday as they prepare to take on Sporting CP in the Europa League

The Red Devils will be looking to build on their impressive 2-0 win over Leeds United in the Premier League on Sunday.

Ten Hag will be without the suspended Lisandro Martinez and the injured Antony for the trip to Portugal.

But the Dutchman has a number of other options to choose from, with Diogo Dalot, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Luke Shaw all available at full-back.

In midfield, Casemiro is likely to start alongside Fred and Bruno Fernandes.

And in attack, Marcus Rashford, Wout Weghorst, and Jadon Sancho are all vying for a place in the starting XI.

Manchester United will be looking to make a statement in the Europa League this season

The Red Devils have not won a major trophy since 2017, and they will be hoping to end that drought this year.

The Europa League is a realistic target for Ten Hag's side, and they will be confident of beating Sporting CP over two legs.

The Portuguese side are a good team, but Manchester United have the quality to beat them.

If they can do that, they will be one step closer to winning their first trophy under Ten Hag.
