Fifteen minutes ago, the official Manchester United Twitter account tweeted out the squad list and starting XI for tonight’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace. Notably absent was No. 1 David de Gea, and his removal was additionally immediately intriguing, given his man of the match performance in the goalless draw vs. Chelsea on Sunday.
The online United supporter community obviously wondered what was going on with De Gea. He’ll miss the match due to “personal reasons,” according to United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
