Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Highlights

Coach Erik ten Hag allowed striker Wout Weghorst to make his Manchester United debut just five days after he joined the team. Midfielder Casemiro also started, although if he received a yellow card, he would be suspended for the next match against the top team, Arsenal. Center-back Lisandro Martinez also started next to Raphael Varane in the team that is said to be the strongest of the visitors. "We want to win this game, then think about Arsenal," Ten Hag said before kickoff.

Manchester United missed a series of 10 wins and second place in the Premier League table when they won only one point at Selhurst Park. Midfielder Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring in the 44th minute, before Michael Olise scored a free-kick to tie the score at 1-1 in the first minute of the second half. Despite the draw, the visitors still overcame Newcastle to reach third in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Summary

Man Utd played host to home from the get-go with great performance. The visitors had six opportunities, but Crystal Palace had none after around thirty minutes. The homeowner is responsible for the first harmful circumstance, nevertheless. Odsonne Edouard, a striker, received the ball in an overpowering position in the 41st minute. He then turned and fired at a high angle near the column. David de Gea, the goalkeeper, pushed the ball into the top edge of the crossbar with his fingers.

Man United scored the game's first goal three minutes after the scenario "sucked to death." Rashford enters the penalty area unaided by other players after splitting Christian Eriksen's armpit. Eriksen has the option of returning the ball to the second line, where Bruno Fernandes will be in a position to receive it from a distance of more than 10 meters away. The Manchester United captain made the decision to cut his heart out to the far corner to smash the home net since he had ample room and time to do it.

In the second half, the visiting team played poorly and lost. They did not generate any more risky possibilities, and after Fernandes lost the ball in the 80th minute, Casemiro was forced to receive a yellow card for an anti-counterfeit foul. The Brazilian midfielder will not play against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on January 22 as a result of this yellow card. Coach Ten Hag shook his head at that event.

The away team was expected to play until the very end, but Crystal Palace showed no signs of giving up. When Jeffrey Schlupp passed Luke Shaw and Fred in the 90th minute and was fouled, the homeowner was able to benefit from a fencing penalty at a distance of roughly 25 meters to the right. Midfielder Olise sent his left foot over the bar and into the goal, this time catching De Gea off guard. Ten Hag had to shake his head once more.

Goalkeeper David de Gea could not save a beautiful free-kick from Michael Olise

Man United fought back to keep their winning streak alive, and in the 93rd minute, they came close. When a home player headed home and only slightly touched the ball, Fernandes took a corner kick into the 5.5-meter area. Although Casemiro dove onto the mattress, he passively allowed the ball to strike his thigh, keeping it out of the goal.

At the end of the first half, everything appeared to be going well for Manchester United, but the second half was a nightmare. They will have to travel to Emirates Stadium without Casemiro, a crucial midfielder.
