Depay, who joined United from PSV Eindhoven last May, has had a disappointing year and his omission from the squad brought his debut season to premature end.

Depay, however, was brought on as a late substitute in the side’s recent win over Bournemouth in the final game of the Premier League and also played against Norwich City before that, the Guardian reported.

The 22-year-old midfielder, who scored 22 goals for PSV in 2014-2015, has not scored for United since late February against Midtjylland and his most recent goal in a domestic match came in November against Watford.

Meanwhile, defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, who played for the full 90 minutes against Bournemouth, has also been omitted for the clash against Crystal Palace.
