Manchester United clashed heads with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park earlier today as they hoped to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Red Devils made a poor start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 12th minute when Michael Olise found the back of the net. Jean-Philippe Mateta doubled the home team’s advantage in the 40th minute as Erik ten Hag’s men went into the half-time break 2-0 down on the scoreline.
Tyrick Mitchell put the contest to bed when he scored in the 58th minute before Olise scored Palace’s fourth goal just eight minutes later. The match finished with Man United suffering a dismal 4-0 loss away from home.
