Should Sesko start against Palace?

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Benjamin Sesko is so hot right now; the six foot Slovenian has been scoring regularly and impacting games. Is it time for Michael Carrick to hand him a start against an ailing Crystal Palace at Old Trafford?

Having made club history by winning the FA Cup and the Community Shield, Palace are now in a bad way; the squad has been decimated by departures and injuries. Manager Oliver Glasner (tipped by some as an outside bet for the Manchester United job) has fallen out with his board over recruitment and, having decided to leave this summer, has also lost his rapport with the fans.

We also have a brief update on Manchester United's finances with Q2 results incoming, Andy's got exciting plans for the weekend, and Ian has some serious statistics on substitutions before we dive into the Champions League qualification run-in.
