Man United Reveal Squad Ahead Of Crystal Palace Game – Mourinho Missing 6 Players Including Turkish Giants Target

Fellaini Besiktas

Manchester United take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park hoping to leapfrog Liverpool and move back into second place.

United will be able to cut Manchester City’s lead at the top of the table to 15 points with a win against Palace.

The Red Devils do have a great record against Palace, going 17 games without defeat.

Jose Mourinho is however, without a few key players for the trip.

Ander Herrera, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Marouane Fellaini and Daley Blind are all out.

Fellaini has been out with a knee injury but Mourinho did reveal that he could be back in time for the Champions League quarter-finals – if United make it that far.

“Fellaini is a different story, he’s still a young player, his injury had a little surgery but minor surgery and he will be back to play again in a couple of weeks so if we proceed in the Champions League after Sevilla I think he will be ready for a hypothetical quarter-final, a hypothetical FA Cup semi-final, for the last couple of months of our Premier League fight,” he said.

The Belgium international has been linked with an Old Trafford exit at the end of the season.

According to Turkish outlet Posta, Fellaini is close to putting pen-to-paper on a five-year contract with Galatasaray.

Per the source, the Lions have surged ahead of Besiktas in the race to sign the 30-year-old.

The reports claims that Galatasaray officials met with Fellaini’s representatives in Antalya and that a deal between the two parties has been agreed.
