Erik ten Hag explains why Cristiano Ronaldo starts for Manchester United vs FC Sheriff in Europa League

Erik ten Hag has explained his decision to start Cristiano Ronaldo for Manchester United's match against FC Sheriff.

United take on the Moldovan champions in the second group match of the new Europa League campaign on Thursday night. United were defeated by Real Sociedad in the Europa League last week and Ten Hag will be hoping for a response to that result.

After the weekend's Premier League matches were postponed, the squad is fresh and Ten Hag has made multiple changes from the side that lost against Real Sociedad, with Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez coming back into the starting line up.
