The Red Devils missed the chance to secure back-to-back Premier League victories, as they were held to a 0-0 draw by a determined Palace side at Selhurst Park on Saturday evening.

United dominated possession and created several chances but failed to capitalize. Meanwhile, Oliver Glasner’s side also threatened, with Eberechi Eze missing two clear opportunities.

In the second half, Ten Hag aimed to shift the game by introducing Marcus Rashford, Manuel Ugarte, and Rasmus Højlund, replacing Joshua Zirkzee, Christian Eriksen, and Amad Diallo.

However, the decision to bring off Dutchman Zirkzee has left United fans unimpressed.
