There is currently no information available to Manchester United regarding when the Football Association will announce their decision regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's charge.
After Manchester United's match against Everton on April 9, in which they lost 1-0, the FA announced on September 23 that they had charged Cristiano Ronaldo with improper and/or violent conduct in relation to an incident that occurred after the match.
As he was walking off the field at Goodison Park, Ronaldo smashed a young supporter's phone and later issued an apology for his behavior on social media.
The 37-year-old was given until Monday to contest the charge, but he chose not to. Nevertheless, Ronaldo and United are prepared to mount a defense if he is handed a multi-game suspension.
In United's next three Premier League matches, they will compete against current top-six teams Newcastle, Tottenham, and Chelsea; however, it is currently unknown whether or not the FA will impose a suspension on Ronaldo during this time period.
United manager Erik ten Hag stated, "No, I do not know when the defense will be so we do not have a timeline."
Ronaldo may lead the same attacking quartet that he used in the victory over Omonia Nicosia, with Antony looking to score in his fourth consecutive Premier League appearance. This would be Antony's first time scoring in the Premier League.
The 22-year-old Antony was the first United player to register in his first three Premier League games at Everton last week, but he was taken off against Omonia in the middle of the second half on Thursday night. Antony became the first United player to do so in his first three Premier League games.
Antony was referred to by Ten Hag as a "Development." "I believe that we have now seen his dribbling abilities, his speed, his finishing, and his creating. Now, in addition to that, he needs to work on adding more variety.
"He is a player who is able to adjust to high levels of competition very quickly. He is a player who enjoys taking on difficult tasks. He needs challenges. Every single practice and every single game will be a challenge for him, and that will bring out the best in him. It appeals to his taste.
I believe that there is a lot of room for improvement with him, but I also believe that he is already at a really good level. He is the first player in the history of Manchester United to score three goals in a row for the club. This demonstrates his potential even more clearly."
While Christian Eriksen made his first appearance off the bench in a Manchester United game against Omonia, Ten Hag started the Brazilians Casemiro and Fred in the same midfield position for the first time.
Fellow midfielder Scott McTominay came on late in the game and scored the game-winning goal in the 93rd minute, but he will not be able to play on Sunday when Newcastle comes to town.
It is anticipated that Eriksen will be recalled, and the fact that Casemiro left the game against Omonia in the second half was a clear indication that he would start for the fourth game in a row.
Ten Hag remarked that it was difficult to say at this moment which midfielder would be best for the team. They need to spend more time playing together, but the most important thing is that we have to have a squad.
"Fred turned in a solid performance tonight, in my opinion. He had a great performance in the counter-press and was successful in stealing many balls. Unfortuitously, he was unable to score the goal. When he received the chipped ball, he made a really good move; however, he did not score the header, and that is the impact you have to give to the team.
"I believe that we have some combinations, and the key to success in the middle of the field is always balance. I am pleased with all four, and I have high hopes that they will continue in this vein.
