Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up for Wednesday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been handed a couple of attacking injury concerns ahead of Wednesday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The Red Devils lost Anthony Martial to an unspecified complaint in the first half of their derby win over Manchester City at the weekend, where Marcus Rashford played through the pain of a knock to the hip until stoppage time.

Rashford's injury should not impact his participation here, but Martial's place may need to be filled by Antony, with Jadon Sancho still absent as he undergoes an individual fitness programme.

Ten Hag also has the option to hand Wout Weghorst his full debut in place of Martial, but the Burnley loanee can expect to make his debut off the bench here.

Rashford can therefore feel confident of starting in the number nine spot, supported by Antony, Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes, who controversially levelled against Man City despite Rashford being in an offside position.

With Donny van de Beek out for the season with a knee injury, Casemiro and Fred's spots in the midfield are under no real threat, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka should start at right-back with Diogo Dalot nursing a hamstring problem.

Ten Hag opted to start Lisandro Martinez on the bench for the Manchester derby, where Luke Shaw put in another strong shift at centre-back, but Tyrell Malacia was found wanting for Jack Grealish's opener.

As a result, Shaw could now revert to his left-back role as Martinez returns to the heart of the backline alongside Raphael Varane, with David de Gea in between the sticks as ever.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Fred, Casemiro; Antony, Eriksen, Fernandes; Rashford
