Manchester United vs Crystal Palace LIVE team news, predicted line up and TV info for friendly

Manchester United are back in action again on Tuesday as they take on Crystal Palace in their third friendly of pre-season.

It's been a galvanising weekend for United, who have secured the signings of Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez as Erik ten Hag's squad begins to take shape. Even though neither player is in Australia to be involved in the game, United will still be looking to build on that positivity.

After the 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory last time out, it's back to Premier League opposition this time around as they take on Palace, who defeated them on the final day of last season.

Ten Hag could be boosted by the returns of Raphael Varane, David de Gea and James Garner for the match-up, too, as he looks to make it a hat-trick of victories in his first three games in charge.

The pitch is not as smooth as on Friday night as there was an Aussie Rules game here on Saturday night. The faded markings from the game are still visible and the groundstaff are out there at the moment filling divots.

It is pretty unique this stadium plays host to cricket, soccer and Aussie Rules. The Boxing Day Test is always in Melbourne and you can see why they stage at here over other great Australian cities.

Ten Hag has picked strong teams to start both friendlies so far and you’d imagine he would continue with that tactic now the squad should be fit enough to push beyond 45 minutes.
