Man Utd lost their fourth match in the Premier League

Man Utd went into the match against Crystal Palace with great confidence. This was the opponent they had just defeated in the middle of the week in the English League Cup. However, coach Erik ten Hag's students could not bring joy to the home fans like a few days ago.

After the opening whistle, Man Utd completely controlled the game on the field. The highlight of this team was the new player Sofyan Amrabat. Having to play in the left-back position, he still showed many bright spots from attitude to expertise.

Despite having 71% possession, Man Utd were unable to increase the pace of the game. Coach Erik ten Hag's players rarely approached Crystal Palace's goal. Despite attacking a lot but not scoring, Man Utd paid the price for their carelessness.

Man Utd lost to Crystal Palace.

In the 26th minute, from Eberechi Eze's free kick, Rasmus Hojlund missed the ball, allowing Joachim Andersen to score a classy one-touch goal to open the scoring for Crystal Palace. With the advantage in the score, the away team retreated their entire squad to their own half and focused on defense. Meanwhile, Man Utd were a bit hasty and continued to mishandle the ball in decisive situations.

In the second half, Man Utd continued to be the team that controlled the ball better. At many times, the Red Devils occupied 81% of the time the ball rolled on the field. But similar to the first 45 minutes, Man Utd could not make any significant difference. Marcus Rashford's selfish ball handling and countless inaccurate passes from Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount drove the Red Devils into a dead end.

It wasn't until Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen came on that things improved. A few dangerous chances came to Man Utd but the strikers couldn't take advantage. At the end of the match, coach Erik ten Hag even brought Harry Maguire on to play as a striker. However, the Dutch coach's decision did not help Man Utd change the result.

Result: Man Utd 0-1 Crystal Palace
