Erik ten Hag provides injury update ahead of Everton and sends Manchester United squad warning

Manchester United have no fresh injury concerns heading into their Premier League game at Everton.

Erik ten Hag's side bounced back from a miserable defeat to Manchester City last week with a morale-boosting Europa League triumph away in Cyprus on Thursday. And the Dutchman has confirmed that following that victory over Omonia Nicosia, no new players have been added to the injury list ahead of the trip to Goodison Park.

When asked about the injury front, Ten Hag told United's website : "As far as I can see, everyone is OK [after Thursday's game]. So we will return [home] and then we have a day off until the next afternoon, and then we will be in and prepare for the Everton game."

Doubts remain over centre-back Raphael Varane after he came off at the Etihad last week with an ankle injury and did not travel to Cyprus. As for captain Harry Maguire, he remains sidelined with a thigh complaint.

When quizzed on Varane's availability, Ten Hag remained coy. "Difficult to say," he said. "Varane made progress and I hope he is available but I think it will be close."

United travel to Goodison to face an in-form Everton side who are without a loss in their last six Premier League outings. Ten Hag added: "They have good players, they have a good team, they have a good manager, so we have to be prepared. We have to be ready to start the game well and get the right result."
