Manchester United supporters are excited after Ralf Rangnick named Hannibal Mejbri in his final day starting XI for the Premier League contest against Crystal Palace this afternoon (4pm). Cristiano Ronaldo is a notable absentee as Rangnick opts to make four changes before handing over control to Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo has been a rare shining light for United this season - and has scored 24 goals in all competitions. However, his absence was expected after the five-time Ballon d'Or winner missed training sessions in the build-up when a hip flexor injury flared up.
Luke Shaw and Jadon Sancho are side-lined and there is no room in the squad for Dean Henderson, Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba (calf), either, as he prepares to leave United on a free transfer for the second time. Academy forward Alejandro Garnacho was expected to miss out through illness, but Rangnick can call upon him as part of a youthful substitutes bench.
