Manchester United are prepared to deploy youngster Kobbie Mainoo in an advanced role during Sunday afternoon's Premier League battle with Crystal Palace.
The England international was a standout performer for the Red Devils on Thursday night, when they secured a 2-0 win over FCSB in the Europa League.
Finding the net and providing an assist in Romania, Mainoo is set to retain his spot behind the striker, where he is likely to be joined by Amad Diallo.
As a result, captain Bruno Fernandes is expected to partner enforcer Manuel Ugarte in the engine room, with Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui operating as the wing-backs.
Starting back-to-back games for the Red Devils over the past week without a goal involvement, Rasmus Hojlund could drop out of the XI to make room for Joshua Zirkzee.
Despite keeping a clean sheet in Romania earlier in the week, Altay Bayindir will be removed from in between the sticks to accommodate first-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana.
Whilst returning to first-team training in recent days from a hamstring issue, Luke Shaw is unlikely to feature in the squad of Man United as Palace visit the Theatre of Dreams this weekend.
Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Mazraoui; Diallo, Mainoo, Zirkzee
