Team News
Manchester United have a shortage of centre-backs for Saturday's home game against Crystal Palace.
Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans are all unavailable.
Right-back Rafael is a major doubt for the match at Old Trafford and striker Radamel Falcao is out.
Meanwhile, Palace captain Mile Jedinak will miss the game through suspension after been sent off in Monday night's loss to Sunderland.
The Australia international has played in every Palace game since they won promotion back into the Premier League last year but will sit out the game at Old Trafford as he serves a one-match ban.
Wilfried Zaha is also unavailable to manager Neil Warnock as he is on loan from United – but Damien Delaney is likely to return to the squad after illness kept him out of the Sunderland game.
Match Notes
Fresh from defeat in the Manchester derby, Louis Van Gaal needs a response from his team.
With Marcos Rojo joining the lengthening list of defensive injuries – and Chris Smalling suspended – he can at least start the game with a restored Michael Carrick.
Palace, seeking their first league win at Old Trafford in 25 years, will be without their suspended captain Mile Jedinak, while Wilfried Zaha is ineligible to play against the host club.
Stat of the game: Manchester United have made their worst start to a Premier League season, with 13 points from 10 games
Jim White's prediction: Manchester United 3 Crystal Palace 2.
