There is no recognised No9 in the team.

Kobbie Mainoo shone as one of the No10s against FCSB and gets another start.

Andre Onana replaces cup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

Leny Yoro starts ahead of Matthijs de Ligt in defence.

Luke Shaw is closing in on a return from the injury that has kept him out since the start of December, but the left-back is still not ready to make a comeback.

“It can take a little bit more time,” said Amorim when asked about Shaw ahead of the Palace game.

“I think he needs to train more, to spend more time with his team-mates playing even like normal, small-sided games, not just working alone.

“He stayed there [at Carrington] to make a different type of work, he’s going to get together with the team when we arrive and start from there. When I feel it is the right moment, we will start with some minutes in the games.”

Man Utd confirmed XI: Onana, Yoro, Maguire, Martinez, Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Mazraoui, Amad, Mainoo, Garnacho
