Cristiano Ronaldo dropped as Manchester United make big team decisions for Liverpool

Manchester United have dropped Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw for their Premier League showdown against Liverpool this evening.

All three are among the substitutes as United boss Erik ten Hag rings the changes for the clash between the bitter North West rivals at Old Trafford with his team having lost their opening two Premier League games.

Marcus Rashford will instead lead the United attack, supported by Jadon Sancho on the right flank, Anthony Elanga on the left and Bruno Fernandes in a central position.
