Manchester United face a significant squad challenge as they prepare for their upcoming Premier League away match against Crystal Palace, with three key players confirmed absent.
Injury Blow for United
Manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Harry Maguire will all miss the crucial fixture. This triple absence deals a substantial blow to United's plans as they seek to improve their poor away form.
The situation varies for each player, with Cunha expected to return for the subsequent match against West Ham. However, the news is more concerning for Sesko and Maguire, who face extended periods on the sidelines with a knee injury and hamstring issue respectively.
Pressure Mounts on Amorim's Side
United's current league position adds further pressure to this difficult situation. The club sits 10th in the Premier League table and has failed to secure victory in any of their last three league outings.
Amorim has publicly highlighted the need for improved intensity, particularly in away matches where the statistics make for grim reading. United have won just one of their last 11 Premier League games on the road, a record that must improve quickly.
Palace Await with Boosted Squad
Crystal Palace present a formidable challenge, sitting two points above United in the table. They received positive news with captain Marc Guehi expected to start after being substituted as a pre-planned measure in their recent Conference League match.
The fixture, scheduled for Friday 28th November 2025, represents a critical test for Amorim's Manchester United as they attempt to reverse their declining fortunes without three important first-team players.
