Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
The Dutchman is set to be without Lisandro Martinez for an \u2018extended period\u2019 and have also lost Sergio Reguilon to injury, the club announced on Friday.<\/p>\n
United\u2019s defence has been ravaged by injuries of late, with Martinez joined by Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia in the treatment room.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag has now hit out at United\u2019s fixture schedule as he faced the media on Friday prior to the weekend\u2019s Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n
\u2018Every time the schedule is expanding, the load on the players is too much, it\u2019s such a great overload,\u2019 Ten Hag said. <\/p>\n
\u2018Many colleagues of mine have pointed to that and I have pointed to that as well. But it keeps going. We keep expanding the schedule. <\/p>\n
\u2018Anywhere, it won\u2019t stop. Players can\u2019t deal anymore with this overload and I think that\u2019s what you say in this squad at the moment.\u2019<\/p>\n
Ten Hag, though, has confirmed that Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay are both available for Saturday\u2019s clash against the Eagles at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
\u2018We have seen some players back on Tuesday, and tomorrow, back are the players who were out of the squad for Tuesday: Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen,\u2019 Ten Hag added. \u2018They are back.\u2019<\/p>\n
One player who will not be featuring for United any time soon is Jadon Sancho and asked for an update on the player, Ten Hag said: \u2018Many of you ask me this so often, these questions, and I have said everything. I said everything.\u2019<\/p>\n
