United prepare for Selhurst Park return

We are in a period of time when managers run out of new things to say about their team.

Most top-flight bosses are having to do six news conferences in the space of eight days, particularly if they are in charge of clubs who are qualified for Europe.

Manchester United's Erik ten Hag is one of them.

He had to deal with form issues before the win at Southampton and the importance of winning a trophy prior to the seven-goal hammering of Barnsley.

Now it is Crystal Palace away. Selhurst Park was the scene, just over four months ago, of one of the worst United performances in many years as they were outclassed and beaten 4-0 by the Eagles.

At the time, Sky Sports pundit and ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher labelled United as one of the "worst coached sides" he had seen.

Later today, Ten Hag will likely be forced to revisit that game and be asked what has changed.
