• Manager downplays Cristiano Ronaldo’s lack of playing time
• Manchester United out to bounce back at Omonia Nicosia

Erik ten Hag has thanked Manchester City for Manchester United’s “reality check” in Sunday’s 6-3 derby defeat and insisted his team will step up.

After the game the manager criticised his players for lacking courage in a loss that ended a run of four consecutive league wins. Before Thursday’s Europa League Group E match at Omonia Nicosia, Ten Hag said United would learn from it.
