Manchester United are set to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday as they return to Premier League action with Manuel Ugarte keen to force his way into the starting XI.

After a 3-0 victory at Saint Mary’s against Southampton last weekend, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag could be tempted to keep a similar XI heading into the away trip to Selhurst Park to face Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace side.

Ugarte made his Manchester United debut in a substitute appearance against Southampton last weekend.

The Uruguayan midfielder made his first start for the Red Devils in the 7-0 win at IOld Trafford against Barnsley midweek.

The former Paris Saint-Germain star played just over an hour as he builds up his fitness.

Ugarte brings tenacity to the midfield with his aggressive playing style and eagerness to show his defensive prowess in winning possession.

Casemiro is likely to drop out of teh XI that played Barnsley with Ugarte looking set to start his first Premier League game.

The new Red Devil will be eager to start in the Premier as he looks to make his mark in Ten Hag’s Manchester United midfield and play his part in pushing the Red Devils up the table.
