Marcus Rashford has three goals in his last two games but is on the bench for the first time this season.
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has been benched by manager Erik ten Hag against Crystal Palace due to rotation.
Alejandro Garnacho has replaced Rashford in the only change from the 3-0 victory at Southampton last week. Garnacho has started twice this season but contributed two goals and two assists off the bench against Manchester City, Fulham and Southampton. He was also denied a goal in the defeat at Brighton through Joshua Zirkzee's offside.
Rasmus Hojlund is back in the squad for the first time this season after an eight-week lay-off with a hamstring strain and Mason Mount has returned from a four-week absence due to a hamstring injury.Ten Hag spoke at length about Rashford's recent improved form on the eve of the game. "I think every player who plays in the Premier League, but definitely in this club, you need some resilience," Ten Hag said. "Not any football career is only the way up, you always go down.
When asked if new assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy has helped Rashford at all, Ten Hag replied: "Probably he needed some help, by backing him for instance.
