Match report & 3 talking points from limp Old Trafford defeat

How the game unfolds

Manchester United came Frisch with a record with a record with five wins from her last six games on Sunday competition, but it didn’t feel that way. The hosts had each other and had more shots than palace in Old Trafford, but these statistics felt completely misleading again.

Kobbie Mainoo had a distracted effort in a light opening of ten minutes before the post before the visitors found their feet. The palace was conveniently crowded in a mustard -colored re -hat and wanted to jump forward in the transition.

Tyrick Mitchell and Mateta both fired closely wide in one half of the opening, which was sometimes wild and consistently stubborn. Before the interval there were 19 combined shots, but every goalkeeper only had to make a rescue.

Dean Henderson, the ex-United number one from Palace, who always enjoys a return to Old Trafford, was implemented twice in the first ten minutes of the restart and rejected efforts by Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte. This would be the last two efforts of United at the finish line.

This quick start soon started and Old Trafford was a boiler from Boos when Mateta broke the standstill shortly after the hour. The Palace Talisman was the first to bounce off Maxence Lacroix’s header, which crashed from the crossbar and bundled the visitors before the point blank range.

When Ruben examined Amorim’s side without penetrating, Palace plunged in the final phases. Daniel Munoz Kanterte from United’s messed backline and offered the freedom of the Greater Manchester area to choose a square passport for Mateta in the 89th minute.

“Nowadays, every corner is an opportunity,” Sighed Amorim at the beginning of this season. The air administrator of United can be extended on set pieces of any kind, as the palace repeatedly demonstrated on Sunday.

Munoz had a thundering chance in the first half before Maxence Lacroix towered over at the back post over Leny Yoro after the break. The loop efforts of the central defender met the woodwork, but fell kindly so that Mateta was typing the opener.

United avoided admitting another set piece, but they were not without their fear. The Benny Hill title song could also have got out of Old Trafford’s speakers when Diogo Dalot and Andre Onana left the ball for each other when he defended a free kick in the second half, with every player frozen with fear.

Lisandro Martinez

Lisandro Martinez is not the kind of player to stay below. And so a sweat quickly climbed to Old Trafford when United’s ‘butcher’ did not get back on his feet after getting involved in Ismaila Sarr in the middle of the second half.

After a long delay, the time for the same expression of the serious concern, to the faces of the faces connected with United, Martinez was fully grown in tears. The Punch Argentina, who is probably the only player who is actively benefiting from Amorim’s change of education, missed 36 games from foot and knee injuries last season.

This united it are poorly sold to lose Martinez for every sustainable period during this term.

Three days after he impressed Amorim as part of United’s front of threesome, Mainoo was further removed from his natural berth as a defensive midfielder. The 19 -year -old led the line for his youth club or – more precisely – left the front.

In a classic interpretation of the wrong nine role, Mainoo spent a large part of the competition on Sunday with his back to the goal and floated yellowish between Palace to maintain the ball and turn forward. This desperately difficult position emphasized the infinite lightness of the teenager in possession when he rarely gave the ball away under immense pressure.

However, when it came to the actual threat to attack, Mainoo fought to deliver something apart from a distracted attempt. After remaining 20 minutes, Amorim went from one extreme to the other and replaced his wrong nine with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, the two strikers, whom he fell to the kick -off. Nobody offered a further danger.
