Manchester United v Crystal Palace ratings: Casemiro 5, Rashford 5; Andersen 8, Guehi 8

Dogged Palace grab narrow win to leave poor United frustrated

• 

  Andre Onana 6/10

  Manchester United Ratings. Andersen’s fine finish flew past him into the top corner – the first time Palace have scored in the first half all season. Saved from Hughes’ strike on 62 to stop Palace going two up. All three Palace chances came from set-plays. GettyShow less

• 

  Diogo Dalot 7/10

  Andersen’s opener touched him on the way in. Smart cross to Mount on 69 and the main outlet for United’s attacks on the right. Getty

• 

  Raphael Varane 7/10

  Did little wrong. Flicked a header wide on 73 but sat behind a team who were too slow to pass and simply couldn’t break Palace down. AP

• 

  Victor Lindelof 6/10

  Robbed by Mateta as Palace set up an attack on 63 minutes. Unconvincing, like his team who are a long way from the manager’s demand of a “run of wins”. AP

• 

  Sofyan Amrabat 5/10

  Not a left back and, unlike on Tuesday when he was excellent, it showed. Aggressive, but conceded the free-kick before Palace’s opener after a clumsy challenge. Roamed into the centre throughout as he tried to create overloads. Struck crossbar, but the whistle had been blown. Booked for another poor challenge. PAShow less

• 

  Casemiro 5/10

  Dropped back between central defenders at times. Sent off in corresponding fixture last season and yellow carded after nine minutes in this. Snatched at a shot on 26 minutes. Near post header went over on 39. Overhead kick wide. Beautiful pass to Dalot to set up an attack, but poor passes at other times. GettyShow less

• 

  Mason Mount 6/10

  Determined but found it hard to break down Hughes and Doucoure sat in front of the Palace defence. Shouldered a Dalot ball when he needed to head it. AP

• 

  Bruno Fernandes 6/10

  Lovely pass towards Pellistri on 43 minutes. Whipped effort tipped over on 56 as United began the second half brightly, but it was all for nothing. Reuters

• 

  Facundo Pellistri 5/10

  Couldn’t get the better of Guehi/Mitchell. Better in the second 45 but another who struggled to break Palace down despite United having 75 per cent of possession. AP

• 

  Marcus Rashford 5/10

  Ran towards goal early on, cutting inside on strong right foot. Persistently bundled way towards goal. Switched to right when Garnacho came on. It’s not happening for him this season, he’s scored only once and the crowd are on at him. APShow less

• 

  Rasmus Hojlund 5/10

  Almost prodded side ahead on 11 but for a goal line clearance. Headed on target on 56, but faded badly in the second half. Set up Dalot for a late United attack, but United are struggling to score goals in the league. EPAShow less

  Alejandro Garnacho 6/10

  United subs. Garnacho (Pellistri, 61'): Crossed towards goal on 74 minutes as United dominated in front of 73,428. Shot in 91st minute blocked. AP.

• 

  Anthony Martial 6/10

  Martial (Mount, 76'): On to create against a side who were very difficult to break down. Reuters

• 

  Christian Eriksen 6/10

  Eriksen (Rashford, 77'). Maguire (Varane, 87'): N/A; Van de Beek (Lindelof, 88'): N/A. AP

• 

  Sam Johnstone 7/10

  Palace Ratings. Big save to beat away Fernandes' long ranger on 55 minutes, and again from Hojlund's header minutes later. Reuters

• 

  Joel Ward 7/10

  Given the task of keeping Marcus Rashford quiet which, for the most part, he did a good job of. PA

• 

  Joachim Andersen 8/10

  Defended calmly, showed a good range of passing and scored an absolute cracker of a goal. EPA

• 

  Marc Guehi 8/10

  Missed an early headed chance which might have broken the deadlock. Made up for it with an accomplished display at the back. Reuters

• 

  Tyrick Mitchell 8/10

  Seems a bit of an unsung hero at Palace, strong display at left-back to keep Pellistri quiet. Getty

• 

  Cheick Doucoure 7/10

  Got through an enormous amount of work in the midfield. The ugly stuff and then the even uglier stuff. Getty

• 

  Will Hughes 7/10

  Another workhorse in the Palace midfield. Hughes never stopped running and even drew a good save from Onana with a crisp strike on the break. Getty

• 

  Jordan Ayew 7/10

  Willing runner and always keen to provide an outlet. Adept at drawing fouls from defenders to relieve the pressure. PA

• 

  Eberechi Eze 8/10

  If Palace were on the break and creating in open play then Eze was at the heart of it. AP

• 

  Jeffrey Schlupp 6/10

  Did a solid job of helping out Mitchell on Palace's left-hand side. AP

• 

  Jean-Philippe Mateta 7/10

  Unselfish effort from the big striker who proved an effective target and an outlet for his under-pressure side. AP

• 

  Jairo Riedewald 6/10

  Palace subs. Riedewald (Schlupp 77'): Came on and got stuck in as Palace got over the line. PA. Richards (Eze, 88'), N/A.

Manchester United produced another lacklustre display as a determined Crystal Palace side snatched a 1-0 win at Old Trafford thanks to a superb strike from defender Joachim Andersen.

The result leaves United down in 10th place in the Premier League with just nine points from seven games so far.

Having beaten Palace 3-0 at the same venue in the League Cup in midweek, United fans could have been forgiven for anticipating another comfortable home win.

However, the visitors were on their game from the off, defending staunchly with a clear shape and looking to spring into action on the break.

United were already labouring before being left stunned midway through the first half when Andersen unleashed an unstoppable volley into the roof of Andre Onana's goal.

The Danish defender is more known for his stout defending than spectacular goals but this one certainly fell into that category.

Andersen lingered in the United box after an attacking set piece and when the ball was recycled and swung in for a second time, he sent a volley arrowing into the far corner.

Palace dug in and an uninspiring United side never really looked like breaking them down.

United boss Erik ten Hag, said: "It's quite simple. We conceded only three chances over the whole game - all three from set-plays. Then I think we got in good positions and then made poor decisions.

"We got into good positions and we had free players. We didn't have an impact. The quality was just not good enough in that part of the game. The final part of the game we didn't play our best game."
