Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia are both back at Carrington after respective injuries and are following individual training plans.
The United team that faced Rosenborg on Monday had a youthful look to it, with Academy players aplenty getting minutes in Norway. Senior members of Ten Hag's squad, such as Marcus Rashford, Casemiro and Jonny Evans started the game but Erik swapped all 10 outfield players for the second half.
The manager confirmed in an interview with newspaper publications that he expects Scott McTominay to return to Carrington on Wednesday, following his Euro 2024 exploits with Scotland, and the midfielder could feature in his homeland on Saturday.
In addition, the likes of Andre Onana, Antony and Jadon Sancho remained at the training ground, so could play a part against Rangers. Those who have been on international duty - including Copa America winners Alejandro Garnacho and Lisandro Martinez - are not expected to be back in time for this weekend.
Rangers are embarking on a summer camp in the Netherlands as boss Philippe Clement strives to ready his charges for an assault on the Scottish Premiership title. There could be some new faces in the Gers side with Brazilian full-back Jefte among the summer signings, having switched from Fluminense.

PREVIOUS MEETINGS
There have only been four competitive matches between the famous clubs. The first was in the UEFA Champions League in October 2003, when Phil Neville scored the only goal of the game at Ibrox.
In the return fixture a month later, a 3-0 win was secured at Old Trafford, thanks to Diego Forlan's opener and a brace from Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Seven years later, in the same competition, a 0-0 home draw was followed by a 1-0 victory in Glasgow, courtesy of a late penalty by Wayne Rooney.
The teams have also met in friendlies, including a 1-0 loss in 1994 that featured a red card for Eric Cantona.
