Manchester United get major injury boost as 11 squad members for Crystal Palace fixture confirmed ππ Manchester United Receives Significant Injury Boost Ahead of Crystal Palace Match with 11 Squad Members Confirmed for Selections
Rasmus Hojlund is expected to make his competitive debut for Manchester United in their upcoming fixture against Crystal Palace, following his recovery from a hamstring injury that sidelined him since July. This is a significant boost for manager Erik ten Hag, particularly given the Β£62 million investment in the young forward. Despite United performing well in his absence, with victories over Southampton and Barnsley, Hojlund’s return adds crucial depth to their attacking lineup.
Ten Hag now faces a selection dilemma, with a range of attacking talents, including Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, available. Additionally, Mason Mount has resumed training, though his involvement in the next match remains uncertain. The manager emphasized the importance of a careful reintroduction for players returning from injury to avoid setbacks.
Manuel Ugarte may also feature prominently, possibly making his Premier League debut. With seasoned players like Casemiro and a blend of youthful prospects, Ten Hag has the tactical flexibility needed to adapt. Anticipation is high for Hojlundβs debut, as United appears better positioned to face upcoming challenges with enhanced squad depth and competition.
