"We've still got a bit of time to the game so we'll see how they feel. There is also a question mark over Harry Maguire, who has come to the fore since Carrick took over. The England defender was substituted in favour of Ayden Heaven at the weekend. We will have to wait and see, he explained. He is close and he is not far away, but it is hard to say at the moment."
"Maguire, Martinez and Shaw's injury concerns mean that United are short-changed in central defence, with Leny Yoro and Heaven their only recognised senior options should the trio all be ruled out. At left-back, Patrick Dorgu is another big miss, meaning that either natural right-backs Mazraoui or Diogo Dalot will be forced to fill in on their less-preferred side."
"The left-back, who has been a mainstay in that position since Carrick's arrival, suffered a stud at the top of his left boot after a collision with Palace's Daniel Munoz in the first half, and he was replaced by Noussair Mazraoui. Afterwards, Carrick said that the full-back just wasn't feeling too well so hopefully he will be feeling better soon."
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick provided injury updates ahead of an upcoming fixture. Left-back Shaw suffered a stud injury during a collision with Palace's Daniel Munoz and may return to contention this week after training on grass at Carrington. Harry Maguire remains uncertain after being substituted at the weekend, though Carrick indicated his return is imminent. The club faces significant defensive depth issues with Shaw, Maguire, and Martinez all questionable. Patrick Dorgu's absence at left-back forces natural right-backs Mazraoui or Dalot to play out of position. The midfield is expected to feature Casemiro and Mainoo, with Bruno Fernandes ahead. Benjamin Sesko, who scored on his first start, should retain his place alongside Mbeumo and Cunha in attack.
