Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag’s availability crisis looks to have worsened ahead of Tuesday’s Carabao Cup third-round clash against Crystal Palace. Sergio Reguilon, who withdrew during United’s win at Burnley on Saturday, was reportedly absent as the squad arrived at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils host Palace as they launch their Carabao Cup defence seven months after lifting Ten Hag’s maiden trophy at Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n
But the Dutchman may have to select a weakened side again amid a selection nightmare that has contributed to his side’s tumultuous start to the season.<\/p>\n
Harry Maguire and Mason Mount were spotted arriving at Old Trafford on Tuesday, signalling returns against Palace after spells on the sidelines.<\/p>\n
However, Reguilon, who has started three consecutive games since his deadline-day arrival on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, reportedly wasn’t with the squad.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard allegedly missed training on Monday and, therefore, looks set to miss out against Palace, leaving Ten Hag with a dilemma.<\/p>\n
He joins Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia as Ten Hag’s unavailable left-backs during an unprecedented situation that has made his job almost impossible in the opening stages of the campaign.<\/p>\n

That tells something about character and spirit they want to show,” Ten Hag told TNT Sports.<\/p>\n “He was ill but wanted to play, wanted to support and contribute for the team.”<\/p>\n United’s absent trio of left-backs join Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Amad out of contention.

That could result in a second successive start for Jonny Evans after his impressive display against Burnley or a rare opportunity for Harry Maguire.<\/p>\n Ten Hag has also hailed Sofyan Amrabat’s versatility, which could see the Moroccan midfielder make his full United debut on the defensive flanks.<\/p>\n A win against Palace to book the Red Devils’ spot in the fourth round would add to the triumph at Turf Moor in helping turn the season around.<\/p>\n
