Erik ten Hag has named a strong side to face Crystal Palace in a bid to strengthen Manchester United’s position in the top four.
Some fans thought the team would be rotated tonight because we’ve got Arsenal at the weekend and Casemiro is one booking away from missing that crucial encounter. Ten Hag has decided to start the Brazilian despite the fact he was walking a suspension tightrope.
David de Gea starts between the posts.
The Spaniard will stand behind a back four consisting of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw.
Casemiro will do what he does best in the middle of the pitch, and hopefully avoid a booking, along with Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes in a three-man midfield.
Antony and Marcus Rashford will attack from the flanks, while Wout Weghorst gets his first appearance in a Manchester United shirt.
🚨 Tonight's team news is in — and there's a United debut for Wout Weghorst! 🇳🇱#MUFC || #CRYMUN
