Manchester United lost to Crystal Palace 2-0 at Old Trafford thanks to two goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Aiming for back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season, it turned out to be a disastrous afternoon for Ruben Amorim's side as they were rightfully thrashed and lost Lisandro Martinez to what seemed like a catastrophic knee injury late in the game. With the victory, Oliver Glasner's team moves up to 12th place, while United falls to 13th. Amorim's decision to sideline Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee as Marcus Rashford completed a deal to Aston Villa highlights United's scoring issues. Amorim played Kobbie Mainoo up front and by the end that contrast between the out-of-position teenager deployed by the home side and the powerful striker in Palace yellow was the story of the game. But Mainoo did have his moments early on.
