Manchester United will have their second match against Crystal Palace in less than a week. A few days ago, the "Red Devils" defeated their opponent 3-0 in the Carabao Cup.
However, Man United's defense is expected to have many changes when a series of key players are injured.
Center back Lisandro Martinez has been out for a long time after a serious ankle injury in April. The 2022 World Cup winner's return date is still unknown.
In addition, new signing Sergio Reguilon - a player borrowed from Tottenham - is also unable to play due to injury. This means the Red Devils have one strong full-back, Diogo Dalot. The Portuguese player will attack the right wing of Man United's defense.
In the center-back position, Raphael Varane could have physical problems if he continues to start against Palace. This could open up opportunities for the duo Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans.
For the left-back position, rookie Sofyan Amrabat could be considered for use after an impressive performance in midweek. The appearance of Andre Onana in the goal will complete the patchwork defense of the Old Trafford team.
Mason Mount, after recovering from injury, could pair Casemiro in Man United's midfield.
Young talent Hannibal Mejbri is likely to continue to be trusted, with Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford playing on the wing. Man United's top striker will be new signing Rasmus Hojlund.
Antony has returned to training following allegations of assaulting his girlfriend but is unlikely to feature against Palace. Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho will continue to be absent.
