Ralf Rangnick’s only Man Utd signing in squad for Crystal Palace clash as Ten Hag faces unprecedented injury crisis
RALF RANGNICK’S only Manchester United signing is in the squad for Monday’s trip to Crystal Palace.
Toby Collyer could make his debut at Selhurst Park as Erik ten Hag faces an unprecedented injury crisis.
The 20-year-old joins six teenagers in the squad for United’s latest Premier League match.
Ten Hag is without a number of first-team stars as he continues to deal with several injuries.
Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes are both absent, with Casemiro still required at centre-back due to Harry Maguire being sidelined.
The injury crisis could present Collyer with the chance to make his debut over two years after joining the club.
Rangnick recruited the defensive midfielder from Brighton during his spell as interim boss in March 2022.
He has also been used as a centre-back by United’s youth teams, having joined up with the under-21s after his arrival.
Collyer was seen training with the first-team squad earlier this season, though, and was pictured during a session ahead of the clash with Luton in February.
Despite not featuring against the Hatters, Collyer was included on the bench for matches against Fulham, Manchester City and Everton.

However, the former England youth international has not made a matchday squad since the win over the Toffees on March 9.
Fellow youngsters Harry Amass, Louis Jackson, Habeeb Ogunneye and Ethan Wheatley also made the bench on Monday.
Ten Hag’s side are hoping to move back into sixth place with a victory.
Wins for Newcastle and Chelsea over the weekend have seen the Red Devils drop to eighth in the table.
