Maguire shone alongside Raphael Varane in the heart of Ten Hag’s defence as United comfortably started their Carabao Cup defence.
It will have come as a big boost for the 30-year-old after deciding to fight for his place in the summer transfer window, rejecting a £30million transfer to West Ham United.
However, Ten Hag has issued Maguire a cruel reality check over his hopes of a future at United, dropping him to the bench for Saturday’s Palace rematch.
Victor Lindelof replaces the former Red Devils captain alongside Varane at centre-back, with Andre Onana between the sticks.
Diogo Dalot and Sofyan Amrabat start as Ten Hag’s full-backs for a second successive game, and Casemiro and Mason Mount retain their spots in midfield.
Bruno Fernandes is the second change, replacing Hannibal Mejbri alongside Mount, while Facundo Pellistri keeps his place at right wing.
Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund also return to the starting line-up after dropping to the bench for the Carabao Cup clash, replacing goalscorers Alejandro Garnacho and Anthony Martial.
Palace have made six changes from Tuesday’s heavy defeat at Old Trafford, with Dean Henderson, who withdrew injured in the first half, dropping out for Sam Johnstone.
Hodgson has made three changes in defence. Joel Ward, Joachim Andersen and Marc Guehi start alongside Tyrick Mitchell, who keeps his place.
Cheick Doucoure starts again, with Will Hughes partnering him in midfield. Eberechi Eze starts on the left this time around, joining Jordan Ayew, Jeffrey Schlupp and Jean-Philippe Mateta in attack.
United are looking to secure three successive victories for the first time this season, following 1-0 and 3-0 wins against Burnley and Palace over the last week.
Back-to-back triumphs against the Eagles would move Ten Hag’s men just three points outside the top four before Tottenham Hotspur host Liverpool on Saturday evening.
United have three more home fixtures on the bounce to look forward to before the October international break.
After the Palace game, Galatasaray visit M16 in the second round of Champions League Group A fixtures. United will view it as a must-win affair after losing at Bayern Munich in the curtain-raiser.
Next weekend, it’s Brentford’s turn to visit, which poses as another winnable match amid Thomas Frank’s side’s current struggles.
