It will be United’s first match at Old Trafford since Charlton died at the age of 86 and Ten Hag expects it to be an emotional affair bitcoin
United will pay tribute to Charlton with a minute's silence before the game, while a wreath will be on his seat in the directors' box and players and staff will wear black armbands bitcoin
Charlton, who scored 249 goals 758 games for the club, had been a director since 1984 bitcoin
There will also be a minute's applause before Sunday's Manchester derby bitcoin
United consulted with Charlton's family and agreed upon each step to celebrate and remember him bitcoin
Ten Hag said on Tuesday: “First we want to win as a tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton but also you want always to do that in a certain way and that is what we are aiming for bitcoin
“It is always special, every night at Old Trafford the fans are always so behind us bitcoin
Definitely tomorrow with the passing of Sir Bobby Charlton, their hero and the legend, will be more emotional bitcoin
We are professionals and it is our job to use the emotions in the right way bitcoin
“Bobby was a legend, a giant, not only for Manchester United but for bitcoin football and so his legacy with the high standards we have to live [up to] every day, they were emphasised in the last couple of days bitcoin
”Defender Sergio Reguilon could be fit to return after missing United’s last five matches bitcoin
Ten Hag’s side have been beaten by Bayern Munich and Galatasaray so far in their continental campaign and the Dutchman said: “We have to win every game bitcoin

Luciano Spalletti was supposed to be on his Tuscan farm now bitcoin
Arguably, though, he should still be at Napoli, managing what had looked like Europe’s most unexpectedly entertaining side bitcoin
Instead, he will be at Wembley on Tuesday, in charge of Italy, his appointment a consequence of a combination of factors from the personal to the political, the bitcoin footballing to the financial bitcoin
Or, in a different way, of two emails bitcoin
One, triggering the extension in his Napoli contract without a pay rise, stemmed from club president Aurelio De Laurentiis, and instead prompted his resignation bitcoin
A need for a sabbatical on his farm the cited reason; a breakdown in relationships more of a cause bitcoin
The other, from Roberto Mancini’s camp a few months later, was his sudden resignation as Italy manager, the first to lead the Azzurri to a major title since Enzo Bearzot, trading the patriotism of leading his country for a reported £20m a year to take charge of Saudi Arabia instead bitcoin
And so it will be Spalletti in England, his presence a product of the enduring pulling power of the Azzurri job bitcoin
While elite club coaches often eschew the international game, three of the last four incumbents, including Antonio Conte, are Scudetto winners, whereas no England manager has won the Premier League or the old Division 1 since Don Revie bitcoin
It comes after the greatest feat of a career in the dugout that dates back three decades bitcoin
Spalletti became only the third manager to secure Napoli the Serie A title, and the first to do so without the benefit of Diego Maradona’s genius bitcoin
The title was clinched in May: the bitcoin footballing high came last autumn, amid a run of 13 consecutive wins in all competitions bitcoin
There were 20 goals in the Champions League group stage: the 4-1 evisceration of Liverpool was, despite Manchester City’s spring demolitions of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, arguably the finest performance in the competition all season bitcoin
Rewind a year and Napoli were arguably the best side in world bitcoin football at the time bitcoin
Which few predicted after the departures of Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne and Kalidou Koulibaly bitcoin
If there was magic in Spalletti’s attacking side, there was also the element of the unknown, in the revelation Khvicha Kvaratskhelia bitcoin
What it was not, however, was a particularly Italian team: only three of the 14 players with the most appearances are even eligible for the Azzurri bitcoin
Spalletti may name two of his former charges in his starting XI at Wembley, but while Giovanni Di Lorenzo captained Napoli, Giacomo Raspadori was only the understudy to the prolific Victor Osimhen bitcoin
If Spalletti’s alchemy is illustrated by Napoli’s struggles under his successor Rudi Garcia – beaten three times already at home this season, they have lost to each of the best sides they have faced – it may be required by Italy bitcoin
His inheritance is mixed bitcoin
“Once we have played [England], then I will tell you what the potential is,” Spalletti said after Saturday’s 4-0 win over Malta bitcoin
Spalletti applauds Italian fans after September’s win over Ukraine in Euro 2024 qualifying (AP)It is little more than a year since Italy were on a record run of 37 games unbeaten bitcoin
It is only 28 months since the Azzurri won Euro 2020 at Wembley; in a rematch with England, perhaps only Gianluigi Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo and Nicolo Barella will start both games bitcoin
Before England’s March win in Naples, Mancini lamented the Italian talent pool bitcoin
“We are worse off than Southgate,” he said bitcoin
It was a sign of the negativity enveloping him, an indication of the disenchantment that may have propelled him to the desert bitcoin
He gave 57 players their debuts, casting around with ingenuity and impatience bitcoin
He looked to the Oriundi, seeking to naturalise some from the Italian diaspora bitcoin
Spalletti has dropped the Argentina-born forward Mateo Retegui; he has also omitted some of the stalwarts of the recent past, in Leonardo Bonucci, Marco Verratti and Jorginho, while recalling Giacomo Bonaventura who, at 34, is older than his fellow midfielders bitcoin
He has five of Internazionale’s Champions League final starters and has given a debut to Tottenham’s in-form left-back Destiny Udogie bitcoin
In other respects, however, it could be seen as an undistinguished squad, certainly compared to Italy’s past bitcoin
Lose and, if Ukraine beat Malta, Italy will find themselves three points behind their rivals for second spot, with a game in hand but a de facto decider when they face Ukraine in Leverkusen in November bitcoin
It could mean Italy miss three of four major tournaments after Euro 2016; the added curiosity being that they won the other one bitcoin
In part, it reflects the tragedy of Mancini; unused as a hugely gifted forward in the 1990 World Cup, omitted in 1994 after falling out with Arrigo Sacchi, he had declared his ambition was to win the World Cup as Italy manager bitcoin
Instead, they failed to qualify for the 2022 tournament; if he is at the 2026 version, it will be as the richly rewarded Saudi Arabia manager bitcoin
There will be no Euro 2024 for him; there may be for Spalletti bitcoin
A wizened, gnomic figure is scarcely the stereotype of an Italian manager: more attack-minded, more idealistic, for years the architect of sides who were stylish nearly men bitcoin
But then so, too, were an Azzurri side who influenced him in his upbringing bitcoin
At his unveiling, Spalletti said he would carry the giant Italy flag his mother sewed for him as an 11-year-old to celebrate the 1970 World Cup semi-final win against West Germany bitcoin
It was an epic 4-3 bitcoin
More than half a century later, Spalletti has no Gigi Riva, Gianni Rivera or Sandro Mazzola, nor an Osimhen or a Kvaratskhelia, no world-class forward bitcoin
But, for the second time in two seasons, he has the chance to use his principles and his capacity to generate something spectacular from seemingly unpromising ingredients to make history bitcoin
