Old Trafford hosts a possible managerial audition on Sunday afternoon, when Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace tackle Manchester United in the Premier League.
The Red Devils edged out Everton 1-0 in their last assignment, while the Eagles head north fresh from booking their spot in the last 16 of the Conference League.
The Michael Carrick momentum train momentarily ran out of steam at the London Stadium. Still, Man Utd got back on the right track at Everton on Monday night, avenging their earlier loss
to erstwhile head coach David Moyes.
Taking an exceptional 16 points from the last 18 on offer in the Premier League, no team is in better top-flight form than Man United over the past six gameweeks, and the hosts are also the only side yet to suffer a PL defeat since Boxing Day.
Carrick has overseen a three-game home winning run in that sequence, with the hosts scoring multiple goals against all of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Fulham, although the Englishman now butts heads with a possible candidate to replace him.
The only minor blot on the Man Utd notebook at Everton was Bryan Mbeumo gingerly walking off in the closing stages, but the Cameroonian is not believed to have suffered a serious issue and should be fine for the weekend.
However, Lisandro Martinez (calf) is expected to remain out alongside Mason Mount – who is at least getting closer to a return – while there is no timeframe on Patrick Dorgu (thigh) and Matthijs de Ligt (back) either.
Prior to the start of the next gameweek, no Premier League player has scored more non-penalty goals than Sesko’s five in 2026, and the towering Slovenian may have done enough to displace Amad Diallo here.
