The status of Craig Dawson and Lucas Paqueta remains unclear after both missing the last few games with injuries, while Maxwell Cornet remains out after suffering a small setback in his recovery from a calf issue.
Aside from Ronaldo’s return to league action, Manchester United will be without Raphael Varane until after the World Cup due to a muscle injury, while Anthony Martial remains out with a back problem.
