United’s campaign in the league remains dismal. With this latest defeat, Rúben Amorim’s team has now suffered 11 losses, alongside five draws and just eight wins. Their home form is even worse. With seven defeats in 13 matches at Old Trafford, this marks the club’s worst home start to a season since 1893—when the team was not even called Manchester United.
The strategy of deploying Mainoo as a false nine failed, and the Red Devils rarely threatened Crystal Palace’s goal. Meanwhile, the London side created problems and forced Onana into making several good saves. After halftime, Palace came back even stronger and found the net in the 64th minute through Mateta, who then sealed the victory with another goal in the 89th minute.
With this result, Manchester United drops to 13th place with just 29 points, far from the race for European competition spots. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace leapfrogged United and climbed to 12th place with 30 points. Get a step ahead with BBscore football.
