Manchester United are looking to build on a decent week when they host Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.
Lisandro Martinez scored the winner as United beat Fulham 1-0 last time out before Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils overcame FCSB 2-0 in the Europa League on Thursday night.
It’s now three consecutive victories for United, albeit they remain 12th in the Premier League table.
Oliver Glasner’s Palace lost 2-1 at home to Brentford to end their impressive unbeaten streak but will surely fancy their chances against this inconsistent United side.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
