Maguire has been a regular in the United side over recent weeks, starting the last six matches. He has scored twice in that period, including in the recent 4-2 victory over former club Sheffield United.

It’s the second successive Manchester derby final after they faced off in north London last season. Maguire is the latest United centre-back to pick up an injury, potentially leaving them with zero fit central defenders for the game against Palace.

Jonny Evans is facing a race against time to recover from a knock, while Victor Lindelof, Raphael Varane, Willy Kambwala, and Lisandro Martinez have all suffered recent injury problems. Speaking ahead of the trip to Palace, Ten Hag said: “Scott [McTominay] didn’t train so far this week but I expect him back in training on Saturday.

Then we will have to see up to the game if he is 100 per cent available or for [only] a part in the game. “Then also, after the game, we had an issue with Bruno [Fernandes] so he is a doubt for Monday, but he will fight to be a part of this game, as we know with Bruno.

“Never rule him out for any game and he is giving his best to be available. Jonny Evans returned today in the team training and, tomorrow, we will see if it is enough before the two days before the game.

Anthony [Martial] was partly in the team training.” *Join our new WhatsApp community* and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
