Moreover, with the Dutchman unlikely to make major changes to the starting line-up over the remainder of the tour, the players will be keen on delivering notable and consistent performances moving into the season.

Manchester United Starting Line-Up Against Crystal Palace

Although having delivered promising results, much remains to be desired from Ten Hag’s men. With the manager having been consistent in his assessment of the team’s performances throughout the pre-season tour, the United players will be keen on rectifying their collective mistakes as they prepare for a challenging fixture against a strong Aston Villa squad this weekend.

Goalkeeper

David De Gea (GK): Having taken promising steps in his role to adapt to Ten Hag’s requirements, De Gea is likely to retain his spot between the sticks on Saturday. With the team adopting a high-line, the Spaniard will be keen on supplementing the same moving into the season.

Defenders

Diogo Dalot (RB): Amongst the team’s most captivating performers in recent outings, Dalot continues to deliver notable performances on the pitch. Having successfully staked a claim for a starting spot hitherto, the full-back will be keen on continuing to deliver valuable contributions as the season draws closer.

Harry Maguire (RCB): Having delivered a promising performance against Palace, Maguire will be keen on returning to his best ahead of the new season. While doubts prevail over his ability to impact the game, the centre-back will be hoping to deliver substantial contributions over the remainder of the tour.

Raphael Varane (LCB): Having missed out against Palace owing to a minor knock, Varane is likely to return to the starting line-up against Villa on Saturday. However, with the management unlikely to take a gamble on the Frenchman’s injury, Victor Lindelof could easily retain his spot at centre-back this weekend.

Tyrell Malacia (LB): Delivering a notable performance last Tuesday, Malacia is expected to retain his starting spot against Villa. Amongst the players who have seamlessly adapted to Ten Hag’s system, the Dutch full-back will be keen on earning a place in the starting XI for the opening fixture of the new season.

Midfielders

Donny Van De Beek (CM): An impressive cameo with the first team saw Van De Beek register a notable assist against Palace. With Scott McTominay’s availability uncertain, the Dutch midfielder will be keen on proving a point in a bid to nail down a starting spot moving into the season.

Fred (CM): Expected to remain a starter moving into the season, Fred will be hoping to improve on his performances over the pre-season tour. Having shown potential on the pitch, the Brazilian is likely to get adequate game-time this season.

Forwards

Jadon Sancho (RW): Having delivered notable contributions in each of the last three fixtures, Sancho will be keen on proving himself moving into the new season. Amongst the team’s most impactful players under Ten Hag hitherto, the winger will be looking to continue his consistent performances over the remainder of the pre-season tour.

Bruno Fernandes (CAM): A string of disciplined performances has seen Fernandes operate as an intelligent figure across the attacking third. Although yet to deliver impactful performances, the Portuguese is likely to undergo promising development in his newfound role within the team moving forward.

Marcus Rashford (LW): Having bagged a goal in each of the last two fixtures, Rashford will be keen on delivering consistent performances moving into the season. Although much remains to be desired of the winger, the England international will be looking to return to his best for the opening game week of the new season.

Anthony Martial (ST): United’s most compelling player during pre-season, Martial will be keen on nailing down a starting spot moving forward. Having delivered significant contributions in recent outings, the Frenchman will be looking to deliver consistent performances over the coming weeks.
