The confirmed MUFC XI for the away game vs Crystal Palace is now in…
Manchester United Football Club have been on a tremendous run recently, with Erik ten Hag and his coaching staff deserving immense credit for that.
Suddenly, United find themselves sort of in the conversation of the title race, though they have to keep racking up the victories and consolidate their place inside the top four first.

Check out the confirmed MUFC XI vs Crystal Palace in full here:
David de Gea starts in between the sticks, after a quiet Manchester derby than he would have imagined.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka does keep his place in the line-up, with Diogo Dalot still missing with an injury. Over in the left-back slot, Luke Shaw gets the nod ahead of Tyrell Malacia. Lisandro Martinez makes his first league start post-World Cup. He partners Raphael Varane.
Casemiro does play, in a game where he’s one yellow card away from suspension. Christian Eriksen starts alongside the Brazilian as per usual, with Bruno Fernandes returning to a more familiar attacking midfield role here.
Antony does come back into the line-up after starting the derby on the bench, while over on the left flank, Marcus Rashford gets the nod. Wout Weghorst comes into the XI for his full debut, with Anthony Martial missing through injury.
