Manchester United confirm two squad changes for Crystal Palace fixture with line up hint
Manchester United are certain to make at least two changes to their squad when they face Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Erik ten Hag's side are back in action on Saturday night and will be looking to build upon a productive week that has already seen them defeat both Southampton and Barnsley without conceding a goal.

Hide AdUnited have been boosted by the inclusion of Rasmus Hojlund in their travelling squad to face Palace, while Victor Lindelof and Mason Mount also returned to team training earlier in the week.
It remains to be seen in what capacity any of the trio are involved at Selhurst Park, but it seems certain that two youngsters will drop out of the side due to a team news hint earlier in the day.
While the senior side take centre-stage on Saturday evening, United U21s were in action earlier in the day, losing 3-1 at home to Man City in the Premier League 2. Ethan Wheatley scored the only goal of the game for United, but his involvement in the midday kick-off means he will not be on the bench, just as he was for the midweek thrashing of Barnsley in the League Cup.
Toby Collyer started the 7-0 victory over the League One side but also featured for the U21s, therefore ruling him out of the clash with Crystal Palace later in the day. Harry Amass and Habeeb Ogunneye also played for the U21 side, an indication Ten Hag will have plenty of senior options to choose from later today.
