Jose Mourinho rings the changes as Manchester United welcome Crystal Palace.

Jose Mourinho has rung the changes as Manchester United welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford this afternoon.

In all, the Portuguese manager makes eight alterations from the goalless draw at Southampton in midweek as he looks to preserve his best players for the Europa League final against Ajax in Sweden next week.

Joel Pereira replaces Sergio Romero between the sticks, with Phil Jones and Eric Bailly retaining their places in the back four alongside Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Demetri Mitchell, in for the injured Chris Smalling and Matteo Darmian.

Paul Pogba starts in midfield after missing the game against the Saints due to the death of his father and is joined by Scott McTominay and Axel Tuanzebe as Marouane Fellaini, Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan miss out and Anthony Martial drops to the bench.

Wayne Rooney starts in potentially his final game for the Red Devils and is joined by the returning Jesse Lingard and debutant Josh Harrop up front.

For Sam Allardyce, who is chasing his first win against Mourinho in 11 league attempts, there are two changes following the 4-0 demolition of Hull City last weekend.

Patrick van Aanholt comes into the lineup to join Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha up front in a 4-3-3 formation, with Luka Milivojevic, Jason Puncheon and the returning James McArthur patrolling the midfield with Yohan Cabaye and Andros Townsend both missing out.

Joel Ward continues at right-back and Jeff Schlupp is on the left, Martin Kelly and James Tomkins partner at centre-back and Wayne Hennessey is in goal.

Manchester United: Pereira; Fosu-Mensah, Bailly, Jones, Mitchell; McTominay, Tuanzebe, Pogba; Lingard, Rooney, Harrop
Subs: O'Hara, Blind, Carrick, Willock, Dearnley, Gomes, Martial

Crystal Palace: Hennessey; Ward, Kelly, Tomkins, Schlupp; Milivojevic, Puncheon, McArthur; Zaha, Benteke, Van Aanholt
Subs: Speroni, Dann, Wan-Bissaka, Lee, Sako, Kaikai, Campbell
