Manchester United have lost four of their opening seven games of a Premier League season for the first time after Crystal Palace won 1-0 at Old Trafford.
Erik Ten Haag’s side had looked to have turned a corner with wins against Burnley and Palace in the Carabao Cup, but Joachim Andersen’s first-half strike turned the skies gloomy again for the United boss.
The response from United in attack was limited with Sam Johnstone largely untested in front of a disgruntled home crowd.
It means Palace are now above Manchester United in the Premier League, who have taken just nine points from their first seven games. Also, Palace boss Roy Hodgson has now become the first manager to go unbeaten in five consecutive away Premier League games at Old Trafford.
Up next for Manchester United is a Champions League group stage clash against Galatasaray on Tuesday and their next Premier League clash is against Brentford on Saturday October 7 at 3pm.
