Erik ten Hag explains Manchester United team vs Man City as Ronaldo and Casemiro on bench

Erik ten Hag has named an unchanged Premier League starting XI to face Manchester City as he wants to show 'trust' in his players that have been performing well.

United return to Premier League action for the first time in 28 days on Sunday when they come up against neighbours City. Ten Hag's side are currently on a four-game winning streak but have been unable to extend it for nearly a month after the league was postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the international break.

United's last Premier League outing saw them pick up a 3-1 victory over the undefeated Arsenal and Ten Hag has decided to name the same starting XI that played that day, made possible by Marcus Rashford's late return from an ankle injury. Some fans expected changes to be made to the side, with many wanting to see Casemiro come in for his first domestic start to help combat City's strong midfield.
