Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is a doubt for Monday's Premier League contest with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has revealed that Bruno Fernandes is a doubt for Monday's Premier League contest with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Fernandes has scored seven times and registered one assist in his last seven Premier League appearances, while he has 15 goals and 11 assists in all competitions this season.

There were no signs of a fitness problem for the 29-year-old after last weekend's 1-1 draw with Burnley in the Premier League, but Ten Hag has revealed that the Portugal international is a doubt for the team's next match with Palace due to "an issue".

Ten Hag also provided an update on Scott McTominay, who had to be substituted in the latter stages of the clash with Burnley, while the Man United head coach spoke on the involvements of Jonny Evans and Anthony Martial in Thursday's training session.

"Scott didn't train so far this week but I expect him back in training on Saturday and we have to see if he's 100% available or for a part of the game," Ten Hag told reporters during Thursday's press conference.

"After the game (vs Burnley), we had an issue with Bruno. He is a doubt for Monday, we all know Bruno, never rule him out for any game. He will do his best to be available. Jonny Evans returned today for team training.

"Tomorrow we are off and then two days until the game. Martial was partly in team training."

Marcus Rashford has missed Man United's last two Premier League matches with the problem that he picked up against Coventry City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Ten Hag also said during Thursday's press conference that the England international's issue is yet to heal, so he is also set to miss out at Selhurst Park on Monday night.

"I can't tell. So it was last week, after Coventry, his issue hasn't healed so far," the manager added.

Man United will also again be without the services of Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof and Willy Kambwala against Palace, while it remains to be seen if Evans is deemed fit enough to return to the squad.

The Red Devils can no longer qualify for next season's Champions League, with the team instead battling to be present in the 2024-25 Europa League or Conference League.

The 20-time English champions are currently sixth in the Premier League table, six points behind fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who still have a game in hand.
