Manchester United will be forced to end their streak of naming an unchanged team tomorrow night – but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he is not thinking ahead of the game with Crystal Palace.

Monday night’s draw with Southampton means the need for a result at Selhurst Park is even more important when it comes to Champions League qualification.

But the result wasn’t the only disappointment against the Saints. Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams both had to come off and Mason Greenwood, who was the recipient of a heavy challenge, is also doubtful for the game against Palace.

“Luke has got a swollen ankle, so hopefully I’ll give him as much time as possible to recover – it was a twist on his ankle,” Solskjaer said today. “Brandon’s eye, he cut up his eye there, so I don’t really know. We’ve not trained this morning, none of them trained yesterday, so they were both swollen and I’ll give them as much time as possible to get ready. “The team selection for Thursday is based on Thursday, not on Sunday. Sunday is irrelevant, it doesn’t come into my head at all. It’s just Thursday, so we’ll see.”

“The injury situation, there was a couple of doubts before the Southampton one, but they all reported fit on the day. And hopefully we can give them time now and not having to leave players out of injury, but as you say, there might be one or two fresh legs coming in.”

“I’ll give Luke [Shaw] as much time as possible – him and Mason, their ankles are swollen and a bit blown up,” Solskjaer told ManUtd.com. “I’ll give them as much recovery time as possible to give them a chance. Brandon [Williams] should be fine, he has a gash over the eye but if he can see out of it then… we’ve not trained obviously this morning yet but we’ll hopefully have two, maybe all three of them.”

Diogo Dalot might well see an opportunity on the left but we feel Solskjaer will change the system in order to catch Roy Hodgson out.
