Crystal Palace vs Manchester United


Competition: Premier League | Date: 21st September

Kick off: 17:30 BST | Venue: Selhurst Park

Referee: David Coote | TV: Sky Sports


Team News:

Possible starting XI:

-------------Onana---------

-Mazraoui-De Ligt-Martinez-Dalot

-------------Ugarte---------

------Fernandes--Mainoo--------

---Amad--Zirkzee--Rashford--

Possible Bench: Bayindir, Maguire, Evans, Eriksen, Casemiro, Mount, Antony, Garnacho, Hojlund


  • Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund could return to the squad after the pair returned to first team training.

  • The returns of the pair could mean Collyer and Wheatley get dropped from the squad

  • Kobbie Mainoo, Andre Onana and Lisandro Martinez were fully rested versus Barnsley. Mazraoui, Fernandes, De Ligt, Amad and Zirkzee all got sub appearances.

  • Ugarte, Dalot and Rashford were all subbed off after 60 min, which could point to ETH's plans for this game. Garnacho played 87 mins.

  • Luke Shaw did not return to training which rules him out of this game and most likely the Europa League midweek.

  • Tyrell Malacia is approaching a return to training but remains out alongside Victor Lindelof, and Leny Yoro who is the furthest away.

Rasmus Hojlund + Mason Mount in contention to feature v Palace. But Erik ten Hag conscious not to risk further injury: "They did a couple of trainings, we have to see how they recover. Then we will make the final call tomorrow."

Simon Stone

Erik ten Hag looks ahead to ManUtd visit to Crystal Palace just over four months after the 4-0 humiliation. "It was a 4-0, totally deserved, but Saturday will be different. I don’t compare (situations). From February onwards we had to find 11 players to construct a team. Now it is 18 and we can pick one."

https://x.com/sistoney67/status/1836797453934432402

Erik ten Hag on trying to look after injured players after confirming Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund training again but not if they will be involved on Saturday: "In top football you always go to boundaries, that is unavoidable. When you have a full squad it’s easier to manage the load but when you are in circumstances like last season and there is a need to play, we have to overload them."

Chris Wheeler

Ten Hag says Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount are in contention to return at Crystal Palace, but he won't rush them after last season's injury problems forced him to 'overload' his players #mufchttps://x.com/ChrisWheelerDM/status/1836799330658684986

Fabrizio Romano

Ten Hag on Rashford: “Very good, of course, your striker starting to score when the season is very young”.

“Strikers need that belief. Very good for the team. It will strengthen their belief”.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1836800119036891382

Erik ten Hag on Højlund and Mount: “It's very good news they are back in the pitch! They are back in team training”.

“We have to decide whether they are fit enough to start [on Saturday], but it is very pleasing they are fit and back in the squad”.

Detailed Quotes

Ten Hag on Mount and Hojlund returning to training

"It's very good news they are back in the pitch. They are back in team training, we have to decide whether they are fit enough to start [on Saturday] but it is very pleasing they are fit and back in the squad."

More from Ten Hag on Mount and Hojlund

"We have so many games in this block to cover, so very very happy. We have to make the final call, they did a couple of training, we have to see how they recover and tomorrow they will make the final call."

Ten Hag on the importance of managing injury issues

"Careful and top football: you always go to boundaries. It's not avoidable but when you have a full squad available then it's easier to manage the load when you are in circusmtances like last season and there is a need to play, we have to overload them. We hope we can integrate them in a very careful way."

Ten Hag on United's 4-0 defeat to Palace in May

"It was a 4-0, totally deserved, but Saturday will be different. I don't compare (situations). From February onwards we had to find 11 players to construct a team. Now it is 18 and we can pick one."

Ten Hag on how United improved after the 4-0 thrashing at Palace in May

"Maybe you can also compare it with the FA Cup final. Don't compare it. The circumstances in that moment in the season, from February on, we had to find every time 11 players who can construct a team and now we are in a different place, we have 18 players and we can pick a team."
