Man Utd vs. Crystal Palace player ratings: Marcus Rashford disappears once more as the ineffective Red Devils quickly revert to their previous state.
Man Utd vs. Crystal Palace
As the Red Devils suffered their fourth defeat in as few as seven Premier League games, last season’s talisman turned in another terrible display.
The resurgence of Manchester United has failed. Erik ten Hag’s team is back at square one following a sluggish 1-0 loss at home to Palace. This comes after a narrow win at Burnley and a convincing Carabao Cup triumph over Crystal Palace.
The difference was determined by a deflected Joachim Andersen goal in the first half, but United’s extreme lack of offensive zeal was most worrying. And Marcus Rashford must take the blame, since he once again played poorly and may risk losing his spot to Alejandro Garnacho if his terrible form continues.
After a fantastic debut at home four days prior, Sofyan Amrabat similarly had a dismal maiden Premier League appearance, and Casemiro once again appeared lanky following a fleeting improvement. Last season, United turned Old Trafford into a fortress, but they have already dropped consecutive league games at home for the first time since November 2021.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Andre Onana (5/10):
confused by the deflection that led to the score and failed to act quickly enough.
Diogo Dalot (6/10):
Got forward a lot and was United’s biggest attacking threat.
Victor Lindelof (5/10):
Pretty shaky and had to be bailed out by his center-back partner a few times.
Raphael Varane (7/10):
The best player for United, which is a problem. Had it not been for his fast thinking and incisive interceptions, things might have gotten even worse.
Sofyan Amrabat (4/10):
From his complete debut on Tuesday, a significant decline. gave up the free-kick from which Palace scored, was occasionally caught in possession, and lacked his typical strength.

Attack
Facundo Pellistri (4/10):
Had some promising moments but quickly faded and failed to leave any lasting impression.

Ball couldn’t be held up very well. Had two attempts on goal and ought to have performed better on both.
Marcus Rashford (3/10):
Yet another unsatisfactory performance. Had a few promising runs in the first half, but after switching to the right, provided nothing little and was eventually pulled off.
