Man Utd boss Mourinho confirms 'big squad' available for Crystal Palace

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed he has a "big squad" for Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace.

There were concerns around a number of United players who withdrew from international duty, including Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba.

But Mourinho has all his stars available for the clash at Old Trafford.

"Anthony Martial stayed with us. He didn't go with the national team. He stayed with us. Worked hard with us during the break in a pre-injury situation. He was in a dangerous situation.

"He is ready for tomorrow and will play. Is he ready to accumulate matches and can he play three in a week? I am not sure he's ready for that.

"Antonio Valencia to play tomorrow, Marouane Fellaini stayed in spite of 90 minutes against Man City. Marcus Rashford came back with a little problem but he is ready.

"Romelu Lukaku is ready, I would say with a little bit of a risk, and Paul [Pogba], we knew with this break he would recover. So we don't have players I can say who are out tomorrow. We have a big squad."
