Manchester United bounced back in emphatic fashion from defeat to Everton on Monday night with a thrilling away triumph at Crystal Palace. Second-half strikes from Mason Mount and Joshua Zirkzee secured a dramatic comeback victory for Ruben Amorim's team after Jean-Philippe Mateta's 36th-minute spot-kick at Selhurst Park.
With Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha side-lined through injury, the fact that their replacements Mount and Zirkzee both found the net will delight Amorim. Having missed out on European qualification, United have frequently enjoyed clear weeks to prepare for matches, but that luxury won't be available for their next outing against strugglers West Ham.
Nuno Espirito Santo's outfit travel to Old Trafford on Thursday night and despite the rapid turnaround, an injury comeback appears imminent. There were worries surrounding Bruno Fernandes' fitness after the playmaker was spotted clutching the back of his leg during the closing moments of the Palace triumph.

After struggling through the dying moments of the victory over Palace, Amorim offered an update on Fernandes' situation which suggested he'll be available to face West Ham.
Matheus Cunha
Cunha was side-lined due to a training injury, missing the matches against Everton and Palace. However, he is anticipated to return next week.
Lisandro Martinez
After a nine-month hiatus due to a serious ACL knee injury, Lisandro Martinez has already made a comeback to United's matchday squad. He came on as a substitute for Luke Shaw in the final eight minutes of the 2-1 triumph.
