Erik ten Hag is facing a growing injury crisis at Old Trafford ahead of Manchester United's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace
is, of course, another possibility. The out-of-favour former club captain put in a solid performance against Palace midweek, looking more comfortable as a left-sided centre-half than he has since Ten Hag started to favour Martinez – and even left-back Luke Shaw – over him in that position towards the end of last season.at both club and national team level in recent times, but did form a strong central defensive partnership with Varane during the 2021-22 season.
The Swede started United’s last four matches in all competitions prior to the Carabao Cup third-round tie – in which Ten Hag made seven starting line-up changes, resting several key players – and is arguably the most consistently reliable of the back-up centre-halves available to the Red Devils boss, making him perhaps the most likely of the three to start on Saturday.United’s more pressing concern, at least for this upcoming fixture, is how to replace Reguilon.
Ten Hag will hope the Spaniard’s injury is indeed minor, as it has left his side not just without a recognised first-team left-back – Reguilon was brought in as emergency cover for the still-injured pair of Shaw and Tyrell Malacia – but with just one fit senior full-back at all in Diogo Dalot.
