Crystal Palace vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more tonight

Crystal Palace host Manchester United at Selhurst Park this evening in a Premier League contest that could have serious ramifications on United manager Erik ten Hag whose team are embroiled in a tight contest for the remaining European places.

Wins for Newcastle and Chelsea have seen the Red Devils drop to eighth in the table where they are now outside of the automatic spots for next season’s European campaigns. Victory this evening would send them back up to sixth and keep them in control of their own destiny.

With matches against Arsenal and Newcastle on the horizon next week, United cannot afford to drop any points tonight and the manner in which they finish off this season could play a crucial part in whether Ten Hag keeps his job in the summer.

Elsewhere, a run of three wins and a draw have lifted Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace out of any relegation trouble with the club now looking to push on and finish as high as possible in the league.

Man Utd make decision on Mason Greenwood future as club plan summer clearout

17:45 , Jack Rathborn

Manchester United are looking to sell Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho as they contemplate a clearout to raise funds for summer signings.

United are open to offers for much of their squad because, while new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has shown a willingness to invest, they are limited in what they can spend by Profitability and Sustainability Rules after expensive purchases in the last two summers, so they have to sell.

However, they would only let Marcus Rashford go if there is a huge bid and if the forward wants to leave, with United’s priority being to restore him to the form that saw him score 30 goals last season.

Greenwood has scored eight goals on loan at Getafe and any money from his sale would count as pure profit under PSR regulations. Former chief executive Richard Arnold had said the forward had no future at Old Trafford after he was charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour. While the police subsequently dropped those charges, United conducted an internal investigation and there was a backlash when the club planned to bring him back.

Erik ten Hag on Bruno Fernandes

17:37 , Mike Jones

“He is our captain and he works during the off season, so hard on the training ground, and he brings the energy in every game,” Erik ten Hag said. “Every occasion, he sets an example as a captain for the team and you see his form growing throughout the season.

“By the end of the season, he is in great form and he is scoring goals, making key actions with assists.

“I am really impressed with his performances, contributing to the team spirit but also individually with his creation. I am happy with his performances.”

Manchester United travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Monday night (8pm, Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League).

The Red Devils will not be playing Champions League football next season, but a top-six finish would see them qualify for the Europa League.

Crystal Palace are now safe from the threat of relegation and they will be aiming to finish as high up in the Premier League as possible.

Football betting sites believe there is not much to choose between the two teams, although the Premier League odds actually show that Palace are slight favorites after winning three of their last four games.

Harry Maguire injury update

17:22 , Mike Jones

Harry Maguire faces a race to be fit for the FA Cup final and will miss the rest of the Premier League campaign for Manchester United.

Issuing an update on the central defender’s injury the club posted this simple message on their website which reads: “Harry Maguire has sustained a muscle injury that will keep him out for about three weeks.”

Maguire has played himself back into form and will be hoping that this latest setback does not affect his chances of playing at Wembley and subsequently at the Euros this summer.

Adam Wharton: The Crystal Palace star who has gone from the Championship to an outside bet for Euro 2024

17:15 , Jack Rathborn

Alex Scott, Keane Lewis-Potter, Harry Souttar and Joao Pedro all made the step up from the Championship to the Premier League in recent seasons, but have struggled to match the form that made Bournemouth, Brentford, Leicester and Brighton splash the cash for them .

Scott was labeled by Pep Guardiola as an “unbelievable player,” after Bristol City’s FA Cup tie against Manchester City. Lewis-Potter starred in his final season at Hull City scoring 13 goals. Souttar was one of Australia’s best players in the Qatar World Cup before a £15m move from Stoke to Leicester, while Brighton broke their record transfer fee to sign Pedro.

They have only had fleeting moments in their Premier League beginnings, something that can’t be said about Crystal Palace’s most recent Championship addition Adam Wharton, who has not just settled well since switching Blackburn for south London but has appeared as one of Oliver Glasner’s best performers in recent weeks.

Crystal Palace have been in fine form in recent weeks and will be difficult opponents especially with home advantage.

Manchester United may be without Bruno Fernandes which will hurt their chances of winning but a necessity to collect three points and qualify for Europe could drive them to new heights of success.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues Manchester United clearout as more senior figures depart

17:00 , Jack Rathborn

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s clearout of the senior off-field figures at Manchester United has continued with the announcement that interim CEO Patrick Stewart and Chief Financial Officer Cliff Baty will leave at the end of the season.

Stewart, who is also the club’s Chief Legal Officer, and Baty are going by mutual consent as they follow Football Director John Murtough in departing, while former Chief Executive Richard Arnold stepped down before the Ineos billionaire’s investment at Old Trafford was completed.

United will have four chief executives in nine months with former Juventus CEO Jean Claude Blanc, a director of the club and an ally of Ratcliffe, taking the role on a temporary basis before Omar Berrada completes his gardening leave and can start on 13 July.

‘It’s a joke’: Erik ten Hag lashes out at Manchester United suggestion

16:45 , Jack Rathborn

Erik ten Hag claimed it is a “joke” that Manchester United will have a mass exodus in the summer as he insisted that players will still want to come to Old Trafford, even though his side will not be in the Champions League next season.

United will listen to offers for virtually all of Ten Hag’s squad, except Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Kobbie Mainoo, although it would take a huge bid for them to sell Marcus Rashford, but the Dutchman does not expect vast numbers of players to leave.

They have confirmed that Anthony Martial will go when his contract expires and Raphael Varane could follow suit, while United are not expected to take up their option to buy Sofyan Amrabat but Ten Hag hit out at suggestions everyone else will move on.

Jadon Sancho still holds ‘high value’ for Man Utd, claims Erik ten Hag

4:30 p.m , Jack Rathborn

Erik ten Hag claimed Jadon Sancho still has a high value to Manchester United after the winger he exiled produced an outstanding performance in the Champions League semi-finals for Borussia Dortmund.

Sancho, who cost United £73m, has not played for them since August and was training with the youth team before he was loaned to Dortmund in January.

The England international fell out with Ten Hag, who claimed Sancho had not trained well when he explained his omission from the squad for September’s defeat to Arsenal. It prompted the 24-year-old to produce a social-media post that inferred the manager had lied, with Ten Hag then wanting an apology before he would pick Sancho again and none forthcoming.

While Sancho’s loan at Dortmund could make United up to €7.5m, one of the most expensive signings in their history has played 77 minutes of football for them this season and United could face writing off much of their high investment.

Bruno Fernandes ‘happy’ at Manchester United as Erik ten Hag responds to transfer speculation

16:15 , Jack Rathborn

Erik ten Hag has insisted that Bruno Fernandes will “definitely” be at Manchester United for at least another two years and is confident that his captain is happy to stay at Old Trafford.

Fernandes had said in an interview in his native Portugal that he would consider his future after Euro 2024 while United’s financial issues mean they would listen to offers for most of their squad.

But Ten Hag is keen to keep the 29-year-old, who is United’s 15-goal top scorer this season, as he said the midfielder’s comments were misinterpreted.

“I know he is very happy to be here,” he stated, adding that “absolutely” he wanted Fernandes to stay. He has a contract until 2026, with the club having an option to extend it for a further season.

Crystal Palace have been boosted by the return to fitness of Marc Guehi, in line to feature for the first time since February due to a knee injury. Eberechi Eze should also be back available.

Bruno Fernandes is a doubt for Manchester United, with fellow midfielder Scott McTominay similarly set to be assessed. Marcus Rashford remains absent although Jonny Evans and Anthony Martial are back in training.
