He’s been far too involved in attacks and it simply isn’t his game. Erik ten Hag looks to remedy the situation with Raphael Varane being replaced by Harry Maguire. Donny van de Beek is also on, for Victor Lindelof. So that’s both centre-backs off. Chris Richards on for Eberechi Eze as Palace also change it up.

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League updates Goal! – Andersen’s magnificent volley into the top corner gives Palace lead Manchester United FC 0 – 1 Crystal Palace FC Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 17:06 That’s all from Old Trafford, so thank you for joining us and goodbye! Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 17:06 After being booed off by many of their fans today, Man United will tackle the third of four successive home games when Champions League opponents Galatasaray arrive in Manchester on Tuesday; meanwhile, Palace can reflect on their success for a while before meeting Nottingham Forest next weekend. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 17:02 Consigning Manchester United to consecutive Premier League defeats at Old Trafford, Crystal Palace put in a performance of great discipline and resilience to move above their hosts in the table. While Palace celebrate a famous victory – thanks to Andersen’s fine first-half strike – the Red Devils’ are enduring an awful start to their 2023-24 campaign. They lacked any kind of rhythm or even belief today, and deservedly taste defeat for the fourth time in six games. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:57 FULL-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 0-1 CRYSTAL PALACE Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:57 In the fourth and final minute of second-half stoppage time, Maguire finds himself up on the left wing, but his pass to Garnacho is mishit; striking his team-mate and rolling out for a throw-in. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:54 Guehi makes a last-gasp block on Garnacho’s shot, using his chest to stop the ball. Palace are hangng on in there, but can they hold out until the final whistle? Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:53 Tight to the right byline, Ayew drives a low cross-shot straight at Maguire, sending the ball behind for a Crystal Palace corner. It actually struck Maguire’s arm, but there was nothing he could do about it – there’s no real question of a penalty being awarded. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:48 Sending the ball harmlessly wide of the right-hand post, Casemiro’s mishit shot leaves Johnstone a spectator. Surely the home side can come up with one more clear chance before limping to what would be a tame home loss? Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:47 Substitution Victor Jörgen Nilsson Lindelöf Donny van de Beek Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:47 Substitution Eberechi Oluchi Eze Christopher Jeffrey Richards Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:47 Substitution Raphaël Xavier Varane Jacob Harry Maguire Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:46 Martial carelessly gives the ball away on the left, as another Man United move falters. Then, Casemiro’s cross is cleared away by Guehi. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:44 At the end of a prolonged United attack, Garnacho loses patience and cracks a shot at goal from more than 20 yards out but sees it charged down. Time is running out for the Red Devils if they are to avoid a second straight home defeat in the Premier League. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:38 Yellow Card Sofyan Amrabat Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:38 Having drawn several defenders towards him with a direct run through the centre, Eze opts against releasing the ball towards Mateta and instead prods a tame shot wide of the left-hand post from inside the area. That was an excellent chance to all but seal it for the Eagles! Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:38 Substitution Jeffrey Schlupp Jaïro Jocquim Riedewald Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:37 Substitution Marcus Rashford Christian Dannemann Eriksen Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:37 JUST WIDE! Palace escape a scare! Mount wins the ball back on the left, then Garancho skids a low ball along the greasy turf and into the six-yard box. It takes two deflections before spinning inches wide of the far post! Varane then nods further wide following the subsequent corner. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:37 Yellow Card Mason Tony Mount Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:32 CLOSE! Having arrived into the box just on time, Mount misses the target from 10 yards out, flashing his header just over the crossbar following a precise pick-out by Dalot! Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:30 Already one goalkeeper down following Henderson’s injury in midweek, the Palace coaching staff are concerned to see Johnstone go to ground clutching his head after a collision in the area. Fortunately, he is able to continue after a brief delay. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:29 Crystal Palace have seen their share of the ball slip even further since the half-time break, down to just over 20 per cent. Still, they stand firm and remain a threat on the counter. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:26 From a corner on the left, taken by Eze towards the near post, Schlupp sends his header looping narrowly over the crossbar and onto the top of the net. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:25 SAVE! Mateta wins the ball off Lindelof deep inside Man United’s area, and then lays the ball back into the path of Hughes. From the edge of the box, the latter drills a powerful strike straight at Onana, who repels it with both palms! Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:22 Such has been their dominance of the ball today, Manchester United have attempted 478 passes in this match already – higher than their season average of 477.5 in the Premier League. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:22 SUPER STOP! Johnstone comes to the rescue again! This time, Hojlund’s header from the centre of the box is saved by Palace’s keeper! United skipper Fernandes was again involved, creating the chance with a cross. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:20 Substitution Facundo Pellistri Rebollo Alejandro Garnacho Ferreyra Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:19 SAVE! Hojlund and Pellistri combine on the edge of the box, to open up a rare sliver of space. Then, the ball is recycled and Fernandes strikes from an angle on the left, forcing a smart save from Johnstone! Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:16 An optimistic effort by Casemiro sends the ball hurtling wide of the left-hand post from 15 yards, as the midfielder tries his luck with a bicycle-kick following Varane’s pass. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:13 From almost the same spot on the pitch where he volleyed his team in front, Andersen now hacks away Fernandes’ ball into the box from the left. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:11 Following Fernandes’ corner-kick fron the right, Man United are gradually forced back, to groans from the frustrated home fans. Ten Hag’s men may not be at their best – far from it – but Palace are defending with great commitment. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:09 After Dalot is unable to reach Amrabat’s cross into the box, Palace threaten a quick counter, but Schlupp’s throughball down the left is overhit and concedes possession. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:07 Crystal Palace kick off the second half, and we are back under way at Old Trafford! Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 16:07 In addition to finally scoring a first-half goal today – their first in the Premier League this season – Crystal Palace have now stopped the opposition from scoring during the first half no less than six times in seven league games: no team has done so more often. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:56 Stubborn, patient, and clinical when it counted, Crystal Palace lead by a goal at Old Trafford, where hosts Manchester United have yet to get out of third gear. A superb finish from Andersen separates the sides at half-time, during which Ten Hag must affect a change in his team’s lacklustre performance. Palace’s rigid defensive display bears all the hallmarks of classic Hodgson, and it is the veteran coach who will be far happier with things as they stand. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:51 HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 0-1 CRYSTAL PALACE Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:49 In the second of at least three minutes added on for stoppages, United continue their fruitless probing just outside Palace’s defensive third; they may need a re-think during the interval. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:49 Yellow Card Joel Edward Philip Ward Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:48 Ayew positions his body well to win a free-kick deep inside his own half, relieving pressure on the Crystal Palace penalty area – can they retain their lead until half-time? Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:46 A trio of ineffective passes by Amrabat lead to Manchester United’s latest move breaking down, and the home side seem to lack inspiration today; Palace are keeping them at bay quite comfortably. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:44 Pellistri can’t quite latch on to a clever low throughball by Fernandes, who is beginning to pull the strings as Palace legs tire a little and more space opens up just before half-time. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:43 United have a chance to add to their meagre tally of one shot on target, as they earn a corner on the right-hand side. However, Casemiro’s near-post run and header only sends the ball wide following an inswinging delivery from Fernandes. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:40 The action resumes, as the recovered Rashford trots back into position and Manchester United continue their pursuit of an equaliser. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:38 Play comes to a temporary halt, with Rashford requiring treatment for an apparent ankle injury – he was just caught by Doucoure’s studs. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:37 Varane again intervenes to deny Crystal Palace, as Ayew’s dangerous cross from the right byline is cleared away for a corner. Emboldened by their opening goal, the Eagles are growing in confidence. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:34 An excellent recovery challenge by Varane denies Mateta a clean strike at goal from just inside the area; the striker had been played in by Eze’s throughball and was poised to test Onana. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:33 Yellow Card William James Hughes Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:32 Following an inswinging cross from the left by Rashford, both Andersen and the Eze have to head the ball away from immediate danger, as Palace defend their lead tigerishly. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:31 CLOSE! A nod-down by Dalot from the right sends the ball straight into Casemiro’s path just outside the area, and the Brazilian lets fly with a scorcher! However, it zips just wide of the left-hand post! It’s livening up a little now! Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:27 Amrabat initially holds off Ayew near the touchline, but then the Morocco midfielder needlessly bundles his opponent over and concedes a free-kick around 30 yards from goal. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:27 Goal Joachim Christian Andersen Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:26 A brief burst inside from the left by Rashford is quickly extinguished, and then Palace spring forward at speed. Mateta picks out Schlupp’s run into space, but Dalot intervenes just in time. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:24 There remains very little rhythm to this game, as United struggle to evade some well-organised closing down from their visitors; Palace are primarily concerned with absorbing pressure and – theoretically – striking on the counter. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:21 After Palace dwell on the ball in midfield, a half-chance opens up for Hojlund, but the young forward snatches at his opportunity and sends a 20-yard shot spiralling well over the crossbar. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:20 Manchester United have had 84 per cent of possession over the opening 15 minutes of this match, as Crystal Palace dig in and set up a barricade of white shirts between the home side and Johnstone’s goal. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:17 Fleet footwork from Rashford on the left sees him step past two defenders, and it requires two more to block the England striker’s path to goal and put the ball behind for a Man United corner. Nothing comes of it, though. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:15 CLOSE AT BOTH ENDS! Following an inswinging cross from the left, Guehi flicks a header just wide of the right-hand post when unmarked in the area. Then, Hojlund lofts the ball over Johnstone at the other end after a counter-attack, but Mitchell gets back to hack it off the line! Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:11 It’s still all United at the moment, as Amrabat shifts forward from his starting position at left-back to bolster the hosts’ numbers in midfield. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:11 Yellow Card Carlos Henrique Casimiro Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:10 Back in the starting lineup today, Johnstone plucks the ball out of the air following a delivery into the box by Dalot. Neither side has come near to creating a chance as yet. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:09 United are now aiming to build another strong run of results at Old Trafford, after seeing their 31-match unbeaten home run brought to an end by Brighton two weeks ago – they’ve made a relatively positive start to today’s game at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:06 Patiently keeping possession inside their own half, Manchester United have most of the ball early on. Then, their first surge forward through Rashford is sharply shut down by Ward. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:03 The home side kick off, and we are under way in Manchester! Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 15:02 The players are out on the pitch at Old Trafford, and kick-off is now just moments away! Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 14:58 A total of six changes sees Crystal Palace’s team transformed from the side that started Tuesday’s defeat. Former United goalkeeper Dean Henderson was forced off with a groin injury on his debut, so joins Odsonne Edouard, Michael Olise, Jefferson Lerman among those consigned to the sidelines. In Edouard’s absence, Mateta continues to lead the line up front; Johnstone returns in goal, while playmaker Eze is recalled to the first XI. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 14:54 Making four changes to the side that saw off Palace in their cup clash, Ten Hag most notably brings in young winger Pellistri for his first Premier League start. Lisandro Martinez and Sergio Reguilon miss out – alongside Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw and several others – as Man United’s injury woes continue. Mount recovered from a hamstring problem to feature in midweek, though, and now starts his first league game for over a month, partnering Casemiro in central midfield.

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 14:37 Although they sit just one place and one point behind today’s hosts in the Premier League table, Crystal Palace have failed to win any of their last three games in all competitions: a 3-1 loss at Aston Villa and a goalless home draw home with Fulham was followed by the Eagles’ EFL Cup exit on Tuesday. Before heading to Old Trafford today, Roy Hodgson’s side had won just three of 14 away games since the turn of the year, and only one this season – at Sheffield United on the opening weekend. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 14:33 Four days on from their EFL Cup meeting, Manchester United reconvene with Crystal Palace today, as they seek back-to-back Premier League victories. The Red Devils secured a 3-0 win over the London side in midweek, booking the cup holders’ place in the fourth round, where they will again face last season’s beaten finalists Newcastle United. After edging past Burnley last time out in the top flight, Erik ten Hag’s team sit ninth in the Premier League table and six points behind the top four.
