Demetri Mitchell, Josh Harrop to make Man United debuts vs. Crystal Palace

Jose Mourinho has handed two players Manchester United debuts against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Left-back Demetri Mitchell, 20, and midfielder Josh Harrop, 21, will make their first senior appearances. Goalkeeper Joel Pereira, 20, and midfielder Scott McTominay, 20, have been given their full debuts.

Angel Gomes, 16, has been named on the bench alongside goalkeeper Kieran O'Hara, midfielders Matty Willock and Zachary Dearnley.

Mourinho has picked a starting XI with an average age of 22, even though it includes senior players Wayne Rooney, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard.

United, who face Ajax in the Europa League final in Stockholm on Wednesday, will finish sixth regardless of their result against Palace at Old Trafford.
