With Saturday’s match against Palace and back-to-back games against Leeds United in the Premier League, the manager will be expected to make a few changes to his lineup.
Man United Predicted line-up
As usual, David de Gea will be expected to keep his name in front of the goal. Wan-Bissaka will be taking the right-back spot in place of the injured Diogo Dalot.
Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane will be once again given the responsibility of marshalling the defence and keeping the Palace defenders in check. Due to the Eagles’ highly physical tactics, Ten Hag will try to keep a strong, pacy back line, with Luke Shaw taking the final left-back spot in defense.
Casemiro and Fred will be commanding the midfield region, and Eriksen’s injury will further allow the Brazilians to start together more often.
New signing Marcel Sabitzer could also make his debut off the bench in the second half. Bruno Fernandes will be the lone attacking midfielder and will be the key assist producer for the team.

Finally, Wout Weghorst will be the central striker, waiting to receive the services of his teammates.
Ten Hag will be expected to field a strong starting line-up as usual, and the fans at Old Trafford will want their side to grab all three points on Saturday.
