Training pictures that should excite the United fans

|

The Manchester United players have been pictured training ahead of the game against Crystal Palace tomorrow afternoon at Old Trafford. 

United are looking to make it 12 consecutive home wins in a row when they take on the Eagles for the second time in over two weeks after they beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 at Old Trafford in the second-leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final. Both sides met on the 18th of January at Selhurst Park and United were denied all three points after a Michael Olise free-kick in stoppage time secured a 1-1 draw for Patrick Viera’s side.

New signing Marcel Sabitzer was training with his new team-mates having joined the Reds on Deadline Day from Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich on loan until the end of the season and he will be hoping to make his debut for Erik ten Hag’s side tomorrow at the Theatre of Dreams.

Diogo Dalot, who has not featured for United since the Everton game at the beginning of last month, was pictured in training alongside Harry Maguire and the Portuguese was in good spirits as he looks to force his way in to the United starting XI, but he does face stiff competition from Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has been in fine form in recent weeks.

Bruno Fernandes was seen putting an arm around youngster Kobbie Mainoo and perhaps giving some words of wisdom to the 17-year-old, who came on in the 3-1 win over Reading in FA Cup last Saturday.

Raphael Varane, fresh from announcing his retirement from international duty with France, was seen smiling and the Frenchman is in contention to start the game tomorrow as United look to cement their place in the UEFA Champions League spots.

Casemiro, posing with a salute for the cameras was in cheerful mood as United ramped up their preparations for the game against the South London outfit.

The game between United and Palace at Old Trafford kicks off at 3pm UK time on Saturday.
