Manchester United will be desperate to halt their three-game losing streak when they take on Crystal Palace, but they will have to do so without striker Robin van Persie.

The Dutchman misses the Premier League match due to a virus so Luke Shaw comes into the side with Daley Blind shifting forward. The only other change sees Paddy McNair drop to the bench with PPhil Jones returning to the side.

Angel Di Maria is not included on the bench.

After their strong start to life under Alan Pardew, Palace have struggled of late and have also lost three games in a row.
