In spite of missing Jadon Sancho and Antony against Palace, Manchester United has options in central midfield, who might be able to address their issues on the right.
Even though the Manchester United team is currently understaffed, the central midfield position is starting to appear to have depth after Sofyan Amrabat and Mason Mount’s midweek performances increased the choices.
After a disrupted preseason, Amrabat completed an hour as he improves his match fitness, and Mount played the first half before being removed in a preplanned move at halftime. In those 45 minutes, the £60 million midfielder gave the team its greatest performance to date by helping to generate four chances.
Additionally, Casemiro questioned whether it was time to talk about his fate, Bruno Fernandes stayed on the bench, while Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay missed the game due to illness.
Ten Hag will face a lot of opposition for positions if he continues to use the 4-3-3. Amrabat may have made his debut at left back, but there is little doubt that the Moroccan player on loan from United will soon occupy the center of the midfield.
