Team News: Cristiano Ronaldo missing as Manchester United take on Crystal Palace

Cristiano Ronaldo missing as Man United take on Palace

Manchester United are missing Cristiano Ronaldo for their final Premier League match of the 2021-22 campaign against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Red Devils interim head coach Ralf Rangnick made no mention of the Portugal international during his pre-game press conference, but various reports on Saturday claimed that the attacker was struggling with a hip flexor issue.

Ronaldo misses out for the 20-time English champions, who need to beat Palace to be certain of finishing above West Ham United in the Premier League table to secure a spot in next season's Europa League.

Paul Pogba is also out due to a long-standing calf issue, with the Frenchman likely to have played his final game for the club, as he prepares to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer at the end of June.

The headline team news, though, is arguably Hannibal Mejbri's presence from the start, with the 19-year-old making his full first-team debut for the club.

Harry Maguire, Fred and Edinson Cavani also all come into the side following the 4-0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion last time out.

Jadon Sancho, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford have all been left out of the squad, but Phil Jones is on the bench despite failing to complete Friday's training session.

Meanwhile, Alejandro Garnacho has also recovered from illness to make the bench for the 20-time English champions, who could line up in a 4-3-1-2 formation.

MAN UNITED XI: De Gea; Dalot, Maguire, Lindelof, Telles; McTominay, Fred, Hannibal; Fernandes; Cavani, Elanga
