Soft man utd
Jean Philippe-Mateta was the hero of Palace with the two goals in the second half while United suffered a fifth defeat in his last six games from the Home League.
The victory takes the Eagles over the Red Devils of the table while the side of Oliver Glasner goes up to 12th.
Three consecutive victories for United had lifted the atmosphere around Old Trafford, but he was back on the outskirts for Ruben Amorim after another screen at home lacking creativity and riddled with defensive towers.
Kobbie Mainoo, who started as a fortune-center, struck the post with the best effort of United with a luminous opening before their attacking threat ends.
Mateta opened the scoring for 64 minutes after returning from the head of Maxence Lacroix.
Worse, it was to follow for United Car Lisandro Martinez had to be stretched with what seemed a serious knee injury.
“I think it’s a serious situation,” said Amorim. “Licha is really important for us, not only as a football player, but the character he has, especially in this difficult moment.”
Palace has not shown no mercy to guarantee the three points when Daniel Munoz instructed in the middle of the local team’s defense and in a selfless manner for Mateta to strike in his sixth goal in five games.
