"Mbeumo was taken off against Everton, which doesn't usually happen, with the Cameroon international limping off, sparking concern. However, training pictures have been dropped from the squad preparing to face Palace, and Mbeumo is involved. Mbeumo was involved in drills, looked perfectly fine, which should quell any concern over him missing the game."
"This, coupled with Carrick not mentioning Mbeumo, means United have a positive fitness boost in the form of the top-scoring Red Devil this season. Mbeumo will likely start for United, but not leading the line, as it should be Sesko who is up top."
"Mbeumo was massively improved for United after being moved to the right wing against Everton, and he needs to start here against Palace. Putting Mbeumo on the right opens up the possibility for Sesko to start through the middle, which is what everyone is now calling for."
Manchester United faces Crystal Palace with mixed injury news. Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt remain unavailable, but Lisandro Martinez appears set to return based on manager Michael Carrick's lack of concern. Bryan Mbeumo, the team's top scorer, was initially a concern after limping off against Everton, but training images confirm his fitness. Mbeumo participated fully in drills and showed no signs of injury. His availability provides a significant boost to United's attacking options. The forward is expected to start, positioned on the right wing rather than leading the line, allowing Benjamin Sesko to play centrally. This tactical arrangement has proven effective, with Mbeumo showing improved performance when deployed wide.
