Manchester United v Crystal Palace: match preview

Manchester United v Crystal Palace
Manchester United v Crystal Palace: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Crystal Palace will hardly care and in a meaningless match Mourinho will pray Paul Pogba, who has to play owing to rustiness, does not go down injured before Wednesday night’s Europa League final against Ajax in Stockholm.
