Ruben Amorim is set to be without Matheus Cunha<\/a>, Benjamin Sesko<\/a> and Harry Maguire<\/a> as Manchester United<\/a> look to bounce back from the defeat to Everton<\/a> when they play Crystal Palace<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Cunha was a late withdrawal from the squad to face Everton after suffering a head injury<\/a> in training.<\/p>\n

He’s set to miss the game at Selhurst Park, but should be available to face West Ham next week.<\/p>\n

Sesko and Maguire are expected to be sidelined for longer.<\/p>\n

“I expect to have Matheus in the next one, not this one,” Amorim told a news conference on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Sesko is going to take a little bit more time. Harry, the same.”<\/p>\n

Asked whether Sesko has suffered a set-back in his recovery from a knee injury, Amorim said: “No. It’s going to take a little bit longer. We are taking care of the injury.”<\/p>\n

United head to Palace having won just once away from home in the Premier League<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

Amorim’s team put themselves in good positions in away games at Nottingham Forest<\/a> and Tottenham<\/a> before needing late goals to salvage draws.<\/p>\n

Aside from the 2-1 win over Liverpool<\/a> at Anfield in October, United’s last league win away from Old Trafford was against Leicester City in March.<\/p>\n

“It’s hard to point to one thing why we are not winning away,” Amorim said. “There’s a lot of issues. I think if I look at the games we should have more points.<\/p>\n

“Because we had control of some games, we had the advantage in some games and we lost that control. So if I look at our games we should have more points.<\/p>\n

“And that is really disappointing and really frustrating, especially the last game [against Everton].”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ruben Amorim is set to be without Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Harry Maguire as Manchester United look…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314633,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-314632","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
