Man Utd dispatched with ease in Eagles rout

Michael Olise scored a brace of goals as Crystal Palace completed a Premier League double over Manchester United for the first time in their history with a thumping 4-0 victory at Selhurst Park on Monday that will add to the pressure on Erik ten Hag.

A makeshift United defence that included Casemiro at centre-back was easily picked apart by Palace on several occasions as Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell were also on the scoresheet in the impressive win.

United remain in eighth place with 54 points from 35 games, two points behind Newcastle in sixth, with their hopes of European football next season fading fast. Palace are still in 14th with 43 points from 36 matches.

United had several injury absentees and were without Bruno Fernandes, the first time in his 230-game Old Trafford career he has missed a match with injury, but the ease with which they were beaten will be a huge concern for everyone at the club.

Michael Olise almost in again after a Kobbie Mainoo error... but Andre Onana prevents the winger from going around him. Chance goes.

Goal disallowed!

The corner is swung in and ends up in the net...

After a slight delay the referee gives a foul for Rasmus Hojlund bumping Dean Henderson on the goalline!

It looked like he was going for the ball and that’s a bit of a keeper’s decision. VAR upholds it and Erik ten Hag has a pop at the fourth official.

Will Hughes clips Alejandro Garnacho just outside the D and this will be United’s best shooting chance of the game so far.

Christian Eriksen directs the visitors’ wall disruptors and curls it over the bar via the jumping defenders for a corner.

Another decent chance for Michael Olise and the wing-backs are again at the heart of it for Palace.

Daniel Munoz’s cross reaches Tyrick Mitchell and a smart reverse pass is lashed straight at the goalkeeper by Olise.

The camera turns towards the sixth-form day trip that is the Manchester United bench.

Granted that Erik ten Hag has really struggled to organise his team, particularly at the back, but the injuries he’s having to live through are immense.

Only Sheffield United have conceded more shots than Manchester United this season, but they need to do some more up the other end to change this game.

Mason Mount sees their first shot of the night blocked.

Watch Michael Olise score vs Man Utd

Slick stuff to beat the challenges but then United simply let him wander towards their goal...!

All a bit passive from United to start here and Palace punish them with aplomb.

Oliver Glasner’s teams are well set to defend leads and frustrate opponents. And United aren’t great when they’re frustrated...

Dom Smith at Selhurst Park:

Michael Olise sprints through a gaping chasm in the United backline. Once Casemiro had been consigned to the turf, United simply let Olise through. Of course, he obliged and scored. A forlorn Erik ten Hag looks on.

GGGGGOOOOAAAALLLL!!! Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd | Olise, 13'

THE EAGLES LEAD!

Michael Olise collects a throw-in, beats two challenges, strolls into space and finishes into the bottom corner!

Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd | 11 mins

Jean-Philippe Mateta’s hold-up play already on show for Palace, in contrast to Rasmus Hojlund whose exact role in this United team is still quite hard to decipher.

Dom Smith at Selhurst Park:

Both sides have made decent starts here, zipping the ball around nicely and trying to breach the other’s defence. Nothing doing quite yet though. Plenty of pace about the game but no openings.
