These two sides played out a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace remain without a win in the Premier League this season. Look back at the best facts and stats and analyse the Opta data with our Crystal Palace vs Manchester United stats page.
Crystal Palace and Manchester United played out a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park, with this unlikely to live long in the memory of any fan to watch it.
The Eagles enjoyed a brilliant 4-0 win last season when these two sides met in London, but Manchester United put in a much better performance this time around. Despite keeping Marcus Rashford on the bench, Man Utd offered more attacking threat in the first half, with Palace enjoying better chances after half-time.
Ismaïla Sarr had the best chance to win the match for Palace, but United goalkeeper André Onana pulled off a superb save in the 65th minute, just seconds after originally saving Eddie Nketiah’s shot down low. The Cameroonian ‘keeper was able to recover to save from Sarr, when the Eagles’ substitute should have really done better.
Despite this decent point, Palace remain winless this season in the Premier League and now sit 16th on three points from five matches.
