Confirmed United XI vs Palace: Sesko starts, Amad dropped, Yoro continues

Benjamin Sesko starts for Manchester United this afternoon as they take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League at Old Trafford.

A win for United will see them climb to third place in the league ahead of Aston Villa, who dropped points against Wolves on Friday.

Defence

Senne Lammens is in goal.

Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt are still injured, so Leny Yoro continues alongside Marry Maguire in central defence.

Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw are once again the full-backs.

Martinez’ injury is not serious and he may even be in contention for Wednesday’s trip to Newcastle.

Midfield and Attack

Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo are once again the six and eight in midfield.

Ahead of them, Bruno Fernandes is in the 10, with Bryan Mbeumo on the right, Matheus Cunha on the left and Sesko up top.

This means Amad has been rested for this one after an unusual off-day last time out.

Substitutes

Altay Bayindir is the substitute keeper. He is joined on the bench by Ayden Heaven, Noussair Mazraoui, Tyrell Malacia, Manuel Ugarte, Tyler Fletcher, Jack Moorhouse, Amad and Joshua Zirkzee.

Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 2pm.

Your line ups today.
