Erik ten Hag explains how Hannibal Mejbri improved Manchester United vs Burnley

Manchester United have not been able to catch a break at left-back this season and it continues to hamper them in other positions across their misfiring team.

Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's UEFA Champions League group stage tussle with Galatasaray at Old Trafford this evening.

Manchester United supporters are calling for two changes to the starting XI against Galatasaray.

Manchester United had 11 players out with injury at one stage last month. The club had taken a lot of flack for their underwhelming start to the season but any team that loses a whole starting XI of players are going to struggle.

Sofyan Amrabat looked well worth the €10million loan fee during a commanding first start for Manchester United in the Carabao Cup earlier this week.

Manchester United return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon when they host Crystal Palace at Old Trafford for the second time in five days.

Fulham remain interested in Scott McTominay and could make an approach for the Manchester United midfielder in January, according to reports.

You only get one chance to make a first impression and Hannibal Mejbri didn't waste it when he signed for Birmingham City on loan.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag believes Hannibal Mejbri has already become an example for the rest of his teammates after two successive starts.

Predicting how Manchester United's midfield might look against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon has possibly just become that little bit easier.

Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay are available for Manchester United in their Premier League rematch with Crystal Palace.

Manchester United brought in a record seven players over the summer transfer window. Mason Mount was first through the door before being followed by Andre Onana. Rasmus Hojlund was also captured before Jonny Evans, Altay Bayindir, Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon arrived on deadline day.

Manchester United will assess Sergio Reguilon, Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay ahead of their Premier League rematch with Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Manchester United will encounter another quick turnaround before resuming their Premier League push against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon (3pm). United overcame the same opponents - at that exact venue - in their Carabao Cup third round meeting on Tuesday night.

Jadon Sancho's Instagram account has been deactivated amid his public fallout with Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag. The winger - who still has his X (formerly Twitter) account active - deleted all of his posts last November while he spent time away from the squad over the festive period before returning to the platform earlier this year.

Fit-again Manchester United player Mason Mount is "ready" to go against Crystal Palace on Tuesday night. Mount, 24, has missed the last five games, in all competitions, due to a muscular injury. He returned to training at Carrington last week and stepped-up his recovery during the build-up to the Carabao Cup tie with Palace - which marks the first part of a doubleheader between the two teams.

Burnley defender Ameen Al-Dakhil says his side were “unlucky” to come out on the losing side in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester United given the chances the hosts had.

Manchester United are straight back in action on Tuesday night as they prepare to take on Crystal Palace in the third round of the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford (8pm kick-off).

Erik ten Hag's decision to start Hannibal Mejbri at Burnley on Saturday evening came as a surprise to many but the 20-year-old's energy was crucial in helping secure a 1-0 win.

Manchester United have a difficult first test to begin their Champions League campaign as they travel to Bayern Munich this evening.
