Ronaldo returns to face Man Utd
Cristiano
Ronaldo will return to Old Trafford as the starring sub-plot of a
mouth-watering Champions Leagueclash between Manchester
United and Juventus tonight.
Ronaldo
Juve lead
the way in Group H with two wins from two, whereas United are two points
further back after drawing with Valencia in their last European outing.
Anthony
Martial is expected to keep his place in the United side after scoring
twice against Chelsea to take his tally to three goals in his last two games
for the club.
Fellow
forward Romelu Lukaku is not in such hot form in front of goal,
though, having now failed to find the back of the net in his last seven outings
for United.
Lukaku is
nonetheless expected to lead the line once again in what could be an unchanged
team from the one which came so close to victory at Chelsea.
Fred
is pushing for a start in midfield, but Juan Mata’s display at Stamford
Bridge could mean that he gets the nod alongside Nemanja Matic and
former Juve man Paul Pogbaonce again.
Juventus
will be able to welcome Ronaldo back into the starting lineup, with the
Portuguese talisman returning to a club where he scored 118 goals in 292
appearances.
The visitors
could be without former Liverpool midfielder Emre Can, who may need
surgery for a thyroid problem. Allegri rested Giorgio Chiellini and
Dybala for the weekend draw with Genoa, and both could be in line to return for
this match.
