Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is facing an injury crisis with up to 10 players set to miss Manchester United's Premier League trip to Crystal Palace.
As if bolstering their top-four chances at Selhurst Park was not hard enough, United are having to deal with a glut of absentees.
Anthony Martial, Nemanja Matic and Phil Jones missed Sunday's goalless draw with Liverpool, when Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard were forced off during an extraordinary first half.
All six will be missing at Palace, as will long-term absentees Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian along with highly-rated 17-year-old Mason Greenwood.
Marcus Rashford's ankle injury also makes him a doubt for a match that caretaker boss Solskjaer approaches with a positive mindset.
"We've not really had a session yet, so I don't think there are a lot of positives, no," the former United striker said.
"We'll have a good team out on the pitch definitely. There'll be a chance for others.
"I've been sat on the outside getting a chance when this had happened.
"It's a chance for them to play to their potential," the Norwegian added.
"Reputation is one thing, the potential is high, because the two of them are good mates.
"They link up well together so this might be a chance for them two together to find some form and give us a selection headache for when everyone gets fit again. It's been coming."
