Manchester United took on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park looking for their first win at the ground since 2020.
Andre Onana returned to his usual starting spot after getting a rare night off in the Carabao Cup victory versus Barnsley.
The back four remained the same from last weekend’s fixture against Southampton with Noussair Mazraoui, Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt all starting
Christian Eriksen retained his spot in the first team to make it three consecutive starts after the international break and was joined by midfield stalwarts Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes.
Joshua Zirkzee returned to start up front alongside Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho earned a starting spot after his four goal contributions on Tuesday night.
Here are four things we learned from the match.
Erik ten Hag’s side continue to struggle in front of goal
United were plagued last season by tame efforts in front of goal as they only found the back of the net 57 times in the league.
Ten Hag’s side have continued to struggle finishing moves. They top the ranking of most big chances missed this season as they have already failed to convert 17 this season and this was on show again in a wasteful match in South London.
