Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui joined the Reds from Bayern Munich on Tuesday and have been training at Carrington over the past few days, with preparations ramping up for our Old Trafford meeting with the Cottagers.
They could now be in line to make their United debuts, as the 2024/25 league season gets under way at 20:00 BST.
“They will be in the squad,” said Ten Hag, when asked about the former Ajax and Bayern pair’s situation.
The Dutchman also confirmed that Harry Maguire is fit to feature but Luke Shaw was added to the injury list earlier this week, with the left-back set to miss the first few games due to a calf injury.
