Manchester United entertained Crystal Palace at Old Trafford earlier today as they hoped to secure all three points on their travels. The Red Devils made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 25th minute when Joachin Anderson scored with a stunning finish. The Mancunian club went into the half-time break 1-0 down on the scoreline.
Man United failed to take any of their chances in the second 45 minutes and crashed to a disappointing 1-0 loss at the Theatre of Dreams.
Let’s take a look at how each Manchester United player performed during the match against the Eagles.
GK: Amadou Onana – 6/10
Onana made one good save at the back but couldn’t do much about Anderson’s first-half strike.
RB: Diogo Dalot – 6.5/10
He failed to keep things solid at the back but was lively going forward.
CB: Raphael Varane – 7/10
The French talent did his fair share of defending and was a strong presence in the air.
CB: Victor Lindelof – 6/10
Lindelof was far from convincing inside his half but was accurate with his passing.
LB: Sofyan Amrabat – 6.5/10
Amrabat showed some fight when defending at the back but gave away some cheap fouls.
CM: Casemiro – 6.5/10
Casemiro was a positive influence at both ends of the pitch.
CM: Mason Mount – 7.5/10

The Portugal international made some decent chances for his teammates but struggled to take any of his chances.
LW: Marcus Rashford – 6.5/10
He caused a few headaches for the opposition but failed to find the back of the net.
ST: Rasmus Hojlund – 6.5/10
He was a real headache for the Palace defenders but there was no goal for him.
