Palace boosted by the absence of in-form United attacker

Manchester United are likely to be without in-form winger Anthony Marital when they welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford today, as reported by The Telegraph.

The 21-year-old starred for the Red Devils in Moscow and was involved in all four goals, scoring one from the spot and setting up the other three before he was forced off in the 72nd minute.

Mourinho admitted after the game that “his contribution was good, but he couldn’t play 90 minutes” with a knock to his thigh being the reason for his early withdrawal, adding further frustration to Mourinho’s fixture congestion woes.

The Frenchman has been in stunning form since the start of the season, chipping in with three goals and three assists in as many games for United as they continued their dominant start to the campaign.

Palace are desperately still searching for their first victory of the season as they sit bottom of the Premier League after six games.

matchday.
