GOOD AFTENOON FROM MANCHESTER
Welcome to SunSport’s live coverage of the Premier League encounter between Manchester United and Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
United are turning a new leaf with interim manager Ralf Rangnick taking charge for the first time after signing a six-month deal with the Red Devils.
But Rangnick is not without injury problems as Raphael Varane (hamstring), Paul Pogba (hamstring) and Edinson Cavani (tendon) are still sidelined.
Cristiano Ronaldo is also a major doubt as he hurt his knee during his signature ‘siu’ celebration against Arsenal.
Luke Shaw missed the last three games against Villarreal, Chelsea and the Gunners as he continues to recover from a head injury.
Nemanja Matic was also absent during Thursday’s win over the north Londoners due to a hamstring problem whereas Aaron Wan-Bissaka was ruled out with a hand injury and is facing a late assessment ahead of the clash against his former team.
Palace manager Patrick Vieira, on the other hand, will be without Joel Ward as he was slapped with a one-game suspension after he received his fifth booking of the season during Tuesday’s 1-0 loss at Leeds.
Vieira will also be missing James McArthur due to a hamstring injury whereas Nathan Ferguson has been out since January 2020 due to several injury issues.
Joachim Andersen faces a late assessment due to a hamstring problem that forced him out of international duty with Denmark in November
