At 03:00 a.m. Beijing time on May 7, the 36th round of the English Premier League will stage a focus of attention, and the Red Devils Manchester United will challenge the average strength of the Crystal Palace team.
After the first 34 rounds, Manchester United has 16 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses, accumulating 54 points, temporarily ranking 6th in the Premier League standings. With Arsenal left far behind at the top of the table and a huge gap of 13 points from the top four of the Premier League, Manchester United not only has no hope of winning the title this season, but also cannot even get a ticket to the Champions League. It has been a very bad season for Manchester United, with the last four rounds of matches and the United having nothing to do but fight for glory.
In this round against Crystal Palace, although there is no specific goal and task, in order to maintain the dignity of the Premier League giants, coach Ten Hag will definitely try his best to play the elite main team. The data shows that in the last 6 meetings with Crystal Palace, Manchester United has 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, which shows that against Crystal Palace, Manchester United is not completely sure of winning. Here's a quick look at Manchester United's likely starting line-up.
In goal, of course, it is the main goalkeeper Onana who guards the United goal, and at the back, it is no surprise that Ten Hag will continue to play his usual back four, with Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka expected to start. Among them, Fat Tiger will continue to form a two-man centre-back duo with Harry Maguire, while Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka will play as wing-backs on the wings.
In midfield, there is no doubt that the main defender in charge of interceptions and tackles in Manchester United's central midfield should be McTominay, while the talented youngster Mainou should be partnered with McTominay to form a two-man midfield combination. In front of the two midfielders, it is natural that Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes sits in front as the attacking commander, passing the ball to feed the cake, organizing and scheduling, and leading Manchester United's attacking line. The two wide attackers who formed the flank alongside Bruno Fernandes should be Argentine prodigy Garnacho and Brazilian winger Antony.
On the forward line, it is not surprising that Rasmus Hojlen took the lead, charging forward for Manchester United and carrying the offensive banner. To sum up, the final 11 expected starting forces for Manchester United against Crystal Palace are: Onana, Diogo Dalot, Maguire, Casemiro, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay, Maynu, Bruno Fernandez, Garnacho, Antony, Rasmus Hojlen
