“Luke is still injured. He has problems with the leg he had surgery on in 2015. They have to remove the metal pins from his leg, that will happen tomorrow,” explains the German coach.
Manchester United cannot therefore have Shaw at their disposal when it visits the ailing Everton on Sunday. Edinson Cavani, Raphaël Varane and Scott McTominay are also not fit, but Cristiano Ronaldo is again part of the match selection.
Van den Beek and Ten Hag
Furthermore, the match with Everton for Manchester United is also a meeting with the rented out Donny van de Beek. “I like Donny as a player, but here he had a lot of rivalry in his positions from other players and therefore didn’t get much playing time. So he asked us to give him a chance to go elsewhere. I think he still has a chance to play a part here, but that also depends on the new manager.”
There is a chance that Van de Beek will see an old acquaintance hold that position next season. Erik ten Hag has been frequently mentioned in recent days as the new trainer of the English superpower, but according to Rangnick that is all quite “premature.” “As far as I know, all the managers the club has spoken to are top managers. If Ten Hag is involved, that also applies to him. I can’t say more at this point.”
