Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Crystal Palace

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Ralf Rangnick will lead Manchester United for the first time on Sunday afternoon, as the Red Devils welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford in the Premier League.

The club's new interim manager watched the 20-time English champions record a 3-2 victory over Arsenal on Thursday evening, which moved them into seventh spot in the table.

Man United are now just three points behind fourth-placed West Ham United and will be determined to make it back-to-back wins in the league after a difficult run of results in England's top flight.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Palace, who currently occupy 11th position in the table.
