Manchester United experienced a second defeat in a row at Old Trafford on Saturday, following a defeat at Crystal Palace. The Red Devils got defeated with a score line of 1-0, with Crystal Palace’s defender Joachim Anderson scoring the only goal of the match in the 25th minute.
Manchester United have now been demolished consecutively twice in a row at “The Fortress,” Old Trafford, after conceiving a heavy 3-1 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion last time out and today’s defeat to Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace was demolished on Tuesday, 26th, with a scoreline of 3-0 in the EFL Cup. The game was a show of total dominance from the Red Devils, and it never appeared that a loss today to the Red Devils would be possible. The game today seems more like revenge on Manchester United from Crystal Palace.
Manchester United’s head coach Erik Ten Hag said, speaking after the defect, “We conceded only three chances over the whole game, all three from set plays. Then, I think, we got into good positions and then made poor decisions. We have to blame ourselves.”
Historically, Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is now the first manager in Premier League history to gather five unbeaten Premier visits to Old Trafford in a row. He has won three games and drawn two at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have now won just three games from their last eight (8) games in all competitions.
Manchester United’s next game would be against Galatasaray on Tuesday in the Uefa Champions League. Galatasaray have not recorded any losses in their last 14 games, winning 11 games and drawing 3 draws across all competitions. United will host the Turkish side at Old Trafford.
