Bruno Fernandes is a doubt for Manchester United’s trip to Crystal Palace tonight.

The United skipper was spotted wearing a protective cast on his wrist ahead of the trip to south east London with Erik ten Hag confirming there are questions over his availability.

The Portugal international has not missed a single game through injury since joining the club with his manager explaining on Friday he will ‘fight to be part of it’.

Marcus Rashford also remains a doubt. The England international has not featured since limping off in extra-time in the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City, missing games against Sheffield United and Burnley.

Ten Hag said on Thursday the injury has ‘still not healed’, meaning he could miss tonight’s game in the capital.

Scott McTominay suffered an injury scare late on against Burnley with a late decision to be made on whether the Scot will be part of tonight’s squad.

Lisandro Martinez was seen back in training this week but is likely to remain unavailable along with Victor Lindelof, Raphael Varane, Willy Kambwala, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.

Jonny Evans was back in training this week, however, and could give his manager a much-needed option at the back with Casemiro forced to fill in recently.

Anthony Martial was also back in first-team training this week. The Frenchman has not played since December having undergone surgery in the New Year but could have a role to play in the final weeks of the season with his contract

Palace meanwhile will have Marc Guehi available again after his recovery from knee surgery. The centre-half has not featured for the last three months.

Eberechi Eze is also expected to return after missing the draw against Fulham at the weekend.

Predicted Man Utd XI to take on Crystal Palace: Onana, Dalot, Casemiro, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, Mainoo, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho, Hojlund
