Man Utd face Crystal Palace in the Premier League fixture this weekend and here is the team news.
Manchester United could be without four senior players when they host Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend. Michael Carrick’s side are back in action after they defeated Everton 1-0 at the start of the week and could name the same side that won on their first visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Lisandro Martinez missed United's victory over Everton at the start of the week due to a small calf issue, but is not expected to be sidelined for a long period. United have won five of their last nine league matches that Martinez has started, and won just eight of their 19 without him this campaign.
Leny Yoro started alongside Harry Maguire for the 1-0 win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night, and the duo could keep their places at Old Trafford this weekend. It means United could be without four players against Palace, with Matthijs De Ligt, Patrick Dorgu, and Mason Mount still sidelined due to injury.
