Manchester United squad vs Crystal Palace includes Wout Weghorst

Wout Weghorst has been pictured as part of the Manchester United squad that travelled to London on Tuesday ahead of the Premier League clash with Crystal Palace. Erik ten Hag's side return to action at Selhurst Park on Wednesday and could give their new January signing a debut in the match.

The 30-year-old forward was not signed in time to be available for the win over Man City last weekend, but looks set for some involvement in midweek after he was pictured with his new teammates at Manchester Airport on Tuesday evening.

Weghorst was given a lift by Christian Eriksen before meeting up with the rest of the United squad for their flight down to London.

The Dutch international began training with his new side on Sunday, and Ten Hag has already entertained the possibility of him being involved against Palace.

"I have to think about that," Ten Hag said of the prospect of starting Weghorst. "First settle down after this game, make the right conclusions and then we will make a clear plan for Palace.

"Of course, I know a lot about Palace - we faced them also in pre-season and know how their team is - but the total plan I don’t have now. I didn’t construct it until now.

"So from this point on we can construct the plan and prepare the team in the right way."

Diogo Dalot could sit out the second game running with a muscular injury, while Donny van de Beek is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

United confirmed squad members (not a final list)

De Gea, Heaton, Bishop; Lindelof, Martinez, Varane, Maguire; Casemiro, McTominay, Fred, Fernandes, Eriksen; Antony, Rashford, Weghorst.
