Crystal Palace vs Manchester United LIVE!
Selhurst Park is the destination for Monday Night Football to round off another exciting weekend of Premier League action. United certainly haven’t been the results winners so far, having been knocked out of the European qualifying places ahead of this tricky trip.
Both teams are unbeaten in four league games, but Erik ten Hag cannot yet convince the fans that he is the man to help the Red Devils move forward in the long term. Not helping the Dutchman is a huge injury crisis that has claimed Harry Maguire for today’s match, with Bruno Fernandes one of many doubts.
Palace are far from the relegation zone and can play with the freedom to build more optimism for the coming years under Oliver Glasner, who will likely rest Jefferson Lerma if Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi Eye return.

No Bruno Fernandes, but confirmed
18:38 , Marc Mayo
The Manchester United team bus has arrived at Selhurst Park without Bruno Fernandes.
Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay have also not been spotted, but Jonny Evans is in South London.

“He works hard,” manager Oliver Glasner said of Lerma’s recovery. “The game against Manchester United is definitely too early. He is working hard to get back for the Wolves game.
“But at the same time with muscle injuries, we still have one match against us [Aston] Villa. I expect him to be available to play against Villa.”

We’re two hours away from the action which starts at Selhurst Park, with team news at 7pm.
Oliver Glasner admits there is “no guarantee” of retaining the star trio
17:52 , Marc Mayo
Oliver Glasner has admitted it would be difficult to keep players who are “too good for Crystal Palace” – adding there is “no guarantee” Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze or Marc Guehi will be at the club next season .
The Austrian stressed that all the club can do is convince the trio that staying at Palace despite interest from elsewhere is the right choice for their careers from a ‘sports perspective’.
Manchester United are interested in a move for Olise this summer, while the Red Devils have also previously been linked with English duo Guehi and Eze.
Palace face a battle to keep all three ahead of their first full season under Glasner, as rival Premier League clubs could make bids for all three during the summer transfer window.
Eze and Olise both signed new long-term deals this season that run until 2027, while Guehi’s contract runs until 2026.
He said of the three players: “All we can do is show our ambition, show them that they are very important players for us, show them from a sporting perspective that we are competitive with many teams in the Premier League, that we want to improve. , and that they play a key role in our system.
“But there is no guarantee either. When the transfer window opens, it can sometimes be a madhouse for weeks. We are part of it and we cannot stop it, but we do our job: we show them the vision, show them how we want to play and what their role can be. We’ll see what happens.”
Score prediction
17:43 , Marc Mayo
Palace won at Old Trafford in September and they will be keeping an eye on a celebrity over United.
Every team will have plenty of chances against Ten Hag’s team, which has shown little interest in tightening up, despite playing with an almost non-existent midfield every week.
With Palace recently shifting gears and United continuing to perform poorly, the Eagles are well placed to put more pressure on Ten Hag.
Crystal Palace wins 2-1.
How Man Utd could line up
17:34 , Marc Mayo
Predicted Man Utd XI: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Evans, Dalot; Mainoo, McTominay; Anthony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
Doubts: Fernandes, Shaw, Martinez, Martial, Rashford, McTominay, Evans
Injuries: Lindelof, Varane, Malacia, Kambwala, Maguire
Asked Man Utd team news
5:25 PM , Marc Mayo
Marcus Rashford has missed United’s last two games due to injury and is a major doubt, while Scott McTominay is in the race for fitness after picking up a knee injury against Burnley. That could mean Mason Mount gets a rare start.
Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Anthony Martial are all closer to a return to the first team, but it remains to be seen whether this match comes too soon.
Bruno Fernandes is doubtful after Ten Hag confirmed a knock for his captain in the Burnley draw.
Harry Maguire has also been ruled out with a muscle injury, leaving him doubtful for the FA Cup final.
