However, that could be made harder as his squad has been hit with more injuries.
The Dutchman confirmed that Alejandro Garnacho picked up a “problem” during the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City.
Ten Hag believes he will be “fine” to face the Blades on Wednesday night.
There are bigger doubts about Scott McTominay, who is being assessed today.
Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes also have issues ahead of the Premier League fixture.
Ten Hag said: “We had a problem with Alejandro Garnacho, that’s why we took him off during the game but I think he will be fine.
“Scott McTominay we have to assess today, really doubtful.
“Marcus Rashford is also doubtful and there was also an issue with Bruno Fernandes with the hand but I think he can make it.

“We have some doubts going into the game tomorrow.”
A win for Man United will relieve some pressure on Ten Hag after the result against Coventry.
The Red Devils booked their spot in the FA Cup final but surrendered a 3-0 lead before progressing on penalties.
The manager was criticised for the team’s performance and has now hit back at the comments by the media and pundits.
He added at today’s press conference: “You made enough and one question: ‘is it embarrassing?’ No, the reaction from you was embarrassing.
“It is the comments. Top football is about results, we made it to a final and we deserved it not only by this game but also the other games.
“We lost control for 20 mins, we also had bad luck, 3-2, 3-3.
“We were very lucky in the end, clear. Penalties was very good and we made it to the final, it is a huge achievement.
“Twice, in two years is magnificent. For me as a manager, four cup final in four years. The comments are a disgrace.”
