Jose Mourinho will have to make do without first-choice right-back Antonio Valencia, who is suspended for Manchester United's midweek trip to Crystal Palace.

"It's a loss as he is playing phenomenally and having a great season," Mourinho told manutd.com.

"He likes to attack and was previously a winger so he's happy with the way the team plays. But he's suspended and that's football, a feature of that, and we have to trust other players." 

United will also be without in-form Henrikh Mkhitaryan at Selhurst Park through injury.
