Erik ten Hag bemoaned Manchester United's torrid injury record this season ahead of their 4-0 defeat by Crystal Palace, where the Dutchman was forced to field another makeshift backline.

His squad was also absent of captain Bruno Fernandes, who missed a match through injury for the first time in his professional career. The season-long crisis has motivated new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe to put forward new measures to ensure the issue does not persist into next season.

But data from Transfermarkt shows that the Red Devils don't even crack the top-three when it comes to games missed by injured players in the Premier League this term.
