Crystal Palace came to Old Trafford having never won a Premier League game against us. Roy Hodgson’s two banks of four, with Jeffrey Schlupp pushing forward in attack, changed that today.
David de Gea: 3
Had nothing to do apart from the goals. At fault for second goal.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka: 5
Nothing special.
Victor Lindelöf: 3
Pathetic attempt to beat Schlupp to the ball for Palace’s first goal.
Harry Maguire: 3
Absolutely terrible concentration for Palace’s first goal. Conversing with Shaw, leaving Ayew with the entire half to run at. Was he not supposed to be the leader?
Luke Shaw: N/A
Off injured in the first half.
Scott McTominay: 4
Won the penalty but once again, no penetration throughout the whole game. Subbed for Mata.
Paul Pogba: 3
Needless touches, flicks and running with the ball. Also at fault for the late winner.
Jesse Lingard: 2
Dreadful. Subbed for Greenwood.
Daniel James: 5.5
Looked a threat in the second half and scored a good goal. Should’ve scored in the first half as well.
Marcus Rashford: 2
Did just about nothing right on the day. Bad touches, bad passes, bad free-kicks and bad penalties.
Anthony Martial: 6
Tried and should’ve had a penalty in the second half. Looked to have pulled a muscle straight after James’ goal.
