Manchester United Predicted Lineup vs Crystal Palace
Manchester United will look to continue their recent good form as they face Crystal Palace on Saturday, September 21, in a Premier League clash at Selhurst Park. Erik ten Hag’s side is expected to line up in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation, with key players returning from injury and recent signings starting to find their rhythm.
Predicted Manchester United Lineup vs Crystal Palace:
GK: André Onana
RB: Noussair Mazraoui
CB: Matthijs De Ligt
CB: Lisandro Martinez
LB: Diogo Dalot
CM: Manuel Ugarte
CM: Kobbie Mainoo
RW: Amad Diallo
CAM: Bruno Fernandes (Captain)
LW: Marcus Rashford
ST: Joshua Zirkzee
Key Points:
- Formation & Tactics: United have been consistent with their 4-2-3-1 setup under Erik ten Hag, emphasizing ball retention, counter-attacking, and pressing higher up the pitch. Bruno Fernandes will play a key creative role, with Rashford and Diallo providing pace and directness on the wings.
- Injuries & Returns: Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount are nearing full fitness and could feature, possibly from the bench. Meanwhile, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, and Lény Yoro remain sidelined but are expected to return in the coming weeks.
- Recent Form: United will be buoyed by back-to-back wins over Southampton (Premier League) and Barnsley (Carabao Cup), looking to maintain momentum after a slow start to the season. However, they’ll need to improve against tougher competition as they aim to challenge for silverware.
Crystal Palace, under Oliver Glasner, will pose a tricky test, especially at home, but United’s recent confidence, bolstered by players like Zirkzee stepping up in the absence of Hojlund, should make for an exciting contest.
