Team News: Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Manchester United side against Everton

Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Man United side against Everton

Cristiano Ronaldo is back in the Manchester United side for Saturday's Premier League clash with relegation-threatened Everton at Goodison Park.

The Portugal international missed out against Leicester City in the league last weekend due to illness, but he was back in training with the 20-time English champions last week.

Ronaldo returns to lead the line for the Red Devils, but Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane, Scott McTominay and Edinson Cavani are all out for the visitors this afternoon through injury.

Varane's absence opens the door for Victor Lindelof to start alongside Harry Maguire in the middle of the defence, while Nemanja Matic comes into the midfield alongside Bruno Fernandes and Fred.

Marcus Rashford earns a start in the final third of the field alongside Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho, with Anthony Elanga and Paul Pogba named on the bench.

There is also a change at right-back, as Aaron Wan-Bissaka is preferred to Diogo Dalot.

Alex Telles, meanwhile, features at left-back due to the absence of Shaw, who is set to undergo a minor leg operation.

MANCHESTER UNITED: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Telles; Matic, Fred, Fernandes; Rashford, Ronaldo, Sancho
