One of the decisions Ten Hag can't botch is who starts in midfield. Casemiro returned to the starting team in the Carabao Cup in midweek, but he was dropped in the Premier League last weekend and Selhurst Park was the scene of his nadir in a United shirt last season.

Manchester United will attempt to win their third consecutive game in all competitions when they travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday evening. The Red Devils will be seeking revenge against the Eagles after they suffered a heavy 4-0 loss at Selhurst Park in May of last season.

Crystal Palace youngster Samuel Lusale appears to have confirmed his impending move to Premier League rivals Manchester United. Palace bosses had high hopes for Lusale as he rose through the club’s academy ranks but the 17-year-old rejected the offer of a scholarship deal at Selhurst Park earlier this summer.
