MU deadlocked at Crystal Palace, coach Ten Hag still has a headache

Coach Erik Ten Hag decided to choose Alejandro Garnacho instead of Marcus Rashford in the starting lineup. The English striker has not yet found his form despite being considered MU's number 1 hope in scoring goals.

The "Red Devils" started the game quite well at Selhurst Park, but they still revealed weaknesses that Mr. Ten Hag could not overcome. In addition to lacking a striker with the ability to seize good opportunities, MU also always lost control of the ball when facing opponents who pressed the whole field.

In the first 45 minutes, the away team had 9 shots but the 2 best chances could not bring goals due to the excellence of goalkeeper Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace). MU's poor scoring continued to be exposed in the second half with Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Joshua Zirkzee... missing a number of scoring opportunities.

In fact, the "Red Devils" play has shown more positive signs when the coordination is more cohesive and sharper. In particular, young talent Amad Diallo is the bright spot with dozens of skillful and fast dribbling moves on the right wing. However, the away team's strikers still do not have the sophistication and accuracy to bring home goals.

Crystal Palace played better in the second half, but Oliver Glasner's team had themselves to blame for missing at least two clear scoring opportunities.

MU missed some scoring opportunities

With this draw, MU still cannot significantly improve their position on the rankings when they are still in 11th place with 7 points after 5 matches. Therefore, the pressure on coach Ten Hag has not yet subsided because of the challenges awaiting the "Red Devils" in the upcoming matches.

Elsewhere, Liverpool moved to the top of the table after a 3-0 win over Bournemouth thanks to goals from Luis Diaz (2 goals) and Darwin Nunez. Meanwhile, Tottenham ended a two-match losing streak in the Premier League with a 3-1 win over London rivals Brentford.
