Manchester United vs Crystal Palace confirmed line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture today
Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick will make his first appearance on the touchline at Old Trafford today with the visit of Crystal Palace.
After watching the 3-2 win over Arsenal in the stands, Rangnick was unveiled on Friday and said he was looking to instill more "balance" to a team prone to conceding goals.
That aim will get a stern first test from Crystal Palace, who have been a strong attacking unit with Conor Gallagher particularly impressing so far this season.
