United braced for injury crisis ahead of Palace clash

Manchester United are bracing themselves for an injury crisis ahead of their meeting with Crystal Palace.

Well-respected journalist James Ducker of the Telegraph explains that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed the club could be without 10 players for the trip to Selhurst Park on Wednesday night.

It has already been widely reported that striker Marcus Rashford is a doubt for the game, but the club’s injury situation now appears to be much worse than first anticipated.

Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial, Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Phil Jones, Antonio Valencia, Matteo Darmian and Mason Greenwood have all been ruled out of the game.

Greenwood has been on the fringes of the first-team under Solskjaer, while the rest of United’s injury list is made up of senior players who have all impressed under the interim boss.

Solskjaer could now be forced to rotate his squad, with some promising youngsters likely to be given the chance to impress.

The injury news could be a timely boost for Palace, who head into the game off the back of an impressive 4-1 away win at Leicester over the weekend.
