Amorim names team to face Crystal Palace

Date:

Ruben Amorim has named his Manchester United squad to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

The Reds returned from Bucharest on Friday after their 2-0 Europa League victory over FCSB and have had time to recover ahead of their 14:00 GMT kick-off against the Eagles.

Despite the quick turnaround, Amorim’s side will be aiming for their fourth consecutive win across all competitions.

There are six changes to the starting lineup from the FCSB match, with Andre Onana replacing Altay Bayindir in goal.

Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire join the defense, Noussair Mazraoui shifts to wing-back, and Diogo Dalot takes up the opposite flank.

Manuel Ugarte returns to the midfield, while Alejandro Garnacho and Amad are rewarded with starting spots after strong second-half performances in Romania.

A big question is who will play up front, with the suspicion that there could be rotation in that position.

Young keeper Elyh Harrison is on the bench in the Premier League for the first time.

The visitors make one change, as Daichi Kamada replaces Eberechi Eze, but the England international is surprisingly on the bench, despite being ruled out on Friday by manager Oliver Glasner. Adam Wharton is also available again, following surgery.

THE TEAMS

United: Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Amad, Fernandes, Garnacho.

Substitutes: Bayindir, Harrison, De Ligt, Lindelof, Casemiro, Collyer, Eriksen, Hojlund, Zirkzee.

Crystal Palace: Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Lerma, Hughes, Mitchell; Kamada, Sarr; Mateta.

Substitutes: Turner, Clyne, Kporha, Devenny, Wharton, Schlupp, Eze, Esse, Nketiah.
