United lost 4-0 on their last visit to Selhurst Park at the beginning of May. Many outsiders assumed the result would signal the death knell for Ten Hag as United boss. However, Sir Jim Ratcliffe opted to stick with the Dutchman, which means he has a chance to avenge that previous loss.

Cristiano Ronaldo has recently stirred the pot by urging Manchester United to keep chasing big trophies, but does this mean Erik ten Hag’s job is on the line?

One of the decisions Ten Hag can't botch is who starts in midfield. Casemiro returned to the starting team in the Carabao Cup in midweek, but he was dropped in the Premier League last weekend and Selhurst Park was the scene of his nadir in a United shirt last season.
