      by

      But the United boss’ shock decision to bench the high-ranking players paid dividends as the Red Devils appeased fan fury with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool.
      Ronaldo and Maguire’s omission from the starting line-up fuelled claims that they could be set for the United exit.
      CR7 was also perplexed by the decision to leave him out and expressed his confusion to Roy Keane when gatecrashing the pundit’s pre-match chat with Jamie Carragher.
      However, Ten Hag insists both players will remain at Old Trafford, as they’ve got important roles in the squad.

      He said post-match: “I have decisions to make. Once I will say I have a squad and we have to use the squad.
      “We play 50 or 60 games, so game to game we will see what team we have to pick.
      “I don’t have to mention Harry Maguire and Ronaldo – amazing players and they will play role in the future, as well, and in the short future as well.”
      Ten Hag’s declaration will do little to ease fears of Ronaldo’s exit this summer.

      The Portuguese ace begrudgingly returned to the United squad during pre-season training after making it known he wants to leave.
      And it seems like the only reason Ronaldo’s still at United is because he’s finding it hard to find new employers – with Borussia Dortmund being the latest club to rule out a move for the attacker.
      Chelsea could be one of the last clubs who may offer Ronaldo a new home as they pursue a new attacker in the wake of Timo Werner’s exit.
      The Blues have also been linked with a shock swoop for Maguire, although United plan to thwart any advances from their Premier League rivals. More

      But before getting comfortable at the Theatre of Dreams, Casemiro made sure to greet United legend Roy Keane.
      His immediate acknowledgment of the fiery Irishman led fans to claim the 30-year-old knew he had to pay homage to Keane before slotting into United’s midfield.
      Keane made 472 appearances in all competitions whilst dominating United’s midfield, and supporters joked that Casemiro had to get his seal of approval in order to occupy the pundit’s old role.

      Plus, one more user interjected: “Keane seal of approval, he’s the man for the midfield.”
      Casemiro wasn’t the only star to reserve special treatment for Keane on the night.
      His former Real pal Cristiano Ronaldo singled Keane out for an embrace ahead of the game – whilst brutally shunning Jamie Carragher.
      However, Ronaldo hasn’t had much to say to Casemiro either as the midfielder revealed the Portuguese ace is yet to reach out to him despite their reunion at United. More

      First choice keeper David De Gea is claimed to be unsuited to the Dutchman’s preferred style of play, so United officials have been scouting someone who is comfortable playing out from the back.

      Trapp may also decide to reject the move if he is not promised regular first-team football at Old Trafford – something that he is guaranteed at Frankfurt.
      The goalkeeper joined the Bundesliga side on a permanent basis in 2019 – one year after a season-long loan spell at the Waldstadion.
      He has since made 261 appearances for Frankfurt and kept 59 clean sheets.
      Ten Hag could bring in Trapp to REPLACE De Gea, who has experienced a disastrous start to the Premier League campaign, as United’s No1.
