Manchester United spectacularly failed to win back-to-back Premier League games for the first time under Ruben Amorim as Crystal Palace secured an away victory at Old Trafford for the second season in a row thanks to a second-half double from Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Mateta pounced from two yards after Maxence Lacroix struck the crossbar with a header from Eberechi Eze’s free-kick, and the Frenchman doubled Palace’s lead in the 90th minute as Daniel Munoz squared to him for a simple finish after a swift counter-attack

It earned the Eagles a third win over United in their last four games and the result also took Oliver Glasner’s side into 12th, above United in the table.

Amorim experimented with a striker-less line-up, benching both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, as Kobbie Mainoo led the line. Although United started brightly, with Mainoo hitting the post, the plan did not work and Palace grew into the game.

Mateta, who went close in the first half when Andre Onana got a hand to his chip past the post, proved to be the central presence for Palace that United lacked and was in the right place to tap in from two yards after Lacroix’s header hit the crossbar.

United were rocked by the sight of Lisandro Martinez being stretchered off after appearing to twist his knee, before Mateta doubled Palace’s lead to the delight of the away fans in the corner of Old Trafford. Follow all the reaction and re-live the action below

Ruben Amorim also tells Sky Sports that Manchester United’s defeat is a “really bad result”.

“The performance was a little bit better than the last games. We controlled the transitions quite well for Crystal Palace. We suffered two goals that we can avoid and the injury on Lisandro Martinez was tough for the team,” says Amorim.

"It's normal for the fans to feel negative, it is a hard season for them but football can change in certain moments. I will prepare the next game and move forward. Better things will come."

Crystal Palace's Mateta: 'We know how they play'

16:43 , Jamie Braidwood

A “very happy” Jean-Philippe Mateta after his two goals earned Crystal Palace their 2-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

“We know how they play with the new manager, we worked on a plan during the week and we stuck to the plan,” Mateta said.

We listened to the gaffer and worked hard and I think we deserve this win. I just put my head down and worked hard and I think sometimes when you do that, you get the reward."

Ruben Amorim on 'really disappointing' Man Utd defeat

16:29 , Jamie Braidwood

Ruben Amorim, speaking to the BBC, on what went wrong for Manchester United this afternoon:

“I felt that the team did some things well. We suffered two goals that we can avoid, which is really disappointing today.

“We take some things from the performance but not the result. It is a hard season at this moment, the players try different things to improve. We need to move forward.

“We had more possession, more connections, we created chances but we couldn't score and that was the difference today."

Manchester United, who started without a striker today, have now failed to score in nine of their 24 Premier League games this season. Only Everton and Southampton have failed to score in as many games, with 12 and 10 respectively.

FULL TIME! Manchester United 0-2 Crystal Palace

16:10 , Jamie Braidwood

As for United... well, it’s one step forward and another two back for Ruben Amorim’s side, who had won three in a row before today.

Their disastrous home season at Old Trafford continues: SEVEN Premier League defeats at Old Trafford from just 13 games this season, and five from their last six games. Ruben Amorim has lost back-to-back home games in the Premier League for the third time this season.

Since the opening day of the season, the only teams United have beaten at home have been Brentford, Leicester, Everton and Southampton.

Crystal Palace were excellent. Oliver Glasner’s side had an awful start to the season but they stayed calm and are now enjoying a wonderful run away from home.

In their last six Premier League away games, Palace have five wins and a draw - the best record of any Premier League team since the start of December!

And they continue their excellent recent record over United. With a second win in a row at Old Trafford, Palace have won three of the last four games against the Red Devils.

They are up to 12th in the table, above United.

16:02 , Richard Jolly, at Old Trafford

An absolutely atrocious day for Manchester United, even by their own standards. Ruben Amorim's strangest selection to date backfired. Crystal Palace were hugely deserving winners.

Manchester United spectacularly failed to win back-to-back Premier League games for the first time under Ruben Amorim as Crystal Palace secured an away victory at Old Trafford for the second season in a row thanks to a second-half double from Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Mateta pounced from two yards after Maxence Lacroix struck the crossbar with a header from Eberechi Eze’s free-kick, and the Frenchman doubled Palace’s lead in the 90th minute as Daniel Munoz squared to him for a simple finish after a swift counter-attack

90+6 mins: Dalot swings in a cross but Hojlund’s flicked header creeps past the post. The striker yells in what has been a difficult day for him after starting on the bench.

15:55 , Jamie Braidwood

90+5 mins: Amad Diallo has been United’s saviour in recent weeks but boots the ball in frustration after knocking it past Mitchell but failing to keep it in play. Palace are seeing this out.

90 mins: We’re not done quite yet. There will be nine minutes of added time, due to Martinez’s injury.

GOAL! Manchester United 0-2 Crystal Palace (MATETA 89')

15:47 , Jamie Braidwood

DOUBLE DELIGHT FOR MATETA AND PALACE! ANOTHER WIN AT OLD TRAFFORD FOR THE EAGLES!

The visitors hit United on the break. It’s a wonderful run from Daniel Munoz, who is found by Sarr, and the full-back squares for Mateta. The Frenchman buries the chance and in a game where United started without a striker, Palace’s big man has won the game for them.

Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace

15:44 , Richard Jolly, at Old Trafford

85 mins: It really doesn't get any better for United. Lisandro Martinez has been stretchered off. It remains to be seen how long he faces out of the side. They do at least have plenty of defenders now, with Heaven and Dorgu signed up. That, however, is scant consolation at the moment.

Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace

15:43 , Jamie Braidwood

84 mins: Palace will be preparing for a lot of stoppage time and for United to lay siege on their goal. Marc Guehi wins a big header to clear Fernandes’ cross and Dean Henderson copes well with the inswinging corner, directed under his crossbar.

Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace

15:40 , Jamie Braidwood

81 mins: Martinez looks to be in tears as he is stretchered around the outside of the pitch and down the touchline. Old Trafford rises to applaud the Argentine.

Matthijs de Ligt is on.

Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace

15:36 , Jamie Braidwood

78 mins: A stretcher has been called for Martinez. A big blow for Amorim and a sight no one wants to see as Martinez receives treatment.

Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace

15:34

76 mins: United make a mess of things down the left and lose the ball. Palace play forward to Sarr. Martinez holds him off but goes down, holding his knee.

This is a worry for United. Martinez’s knee buckled from underneath him and he is down in real pain.

Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace

15:31 , Jamie Braidwood

73 mins: Hughes had the chance to slip in Munoz down the Palace right, with the visitors looking comfortable and confident. But a couple of minutes later Hughes is booked for bringing down Hojlund.

Fernandes sets up Amad on the edge of the box but the winger blazes over.

Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace

15:28

69 mins: Double change from Amorim; after staring with no strikers, he sends on both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. Off come Mainoo and Mazraoui. The false-nine did not work.

Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace

15:26 , Richard Jolly, at Old Trafford

67 mins: A Crystal Palace goal that can't come as a surprise, and not merely because of their excellent recent record against United. They have been the better team on the day. United may note, too, the advantages of fielding a specialist striker as Mateta showed the instinct to appear six yards from goal to score.

Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace

15:26 , Jamie Braidwood

66 mins: United wanted a foul on Yoro but the defending was poor at the back post. Fernandes was booked for his protests.

GOAL! Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace (MATETA 64')

15:23 , Jamie Braidwood

Eze has made an immediate difference and plays a free-kick into Lacroix. The defender brushes aside Yoro and heads onto the bar, with Onana beaten. Mateta is waiting on the spot to tap into the empty net!

Palace lead!

WOW! Breakthrough at Old Trafford and it’s Mateta with the finish! United’s players are furious!

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

15:17 , Jamie Braidwood

59 mins: Almost a calamity for United as Maguire clears into Munoz and the rebound whistles past Onana’s post, with the goalkeeper stranded.

Eze is preparing to come on for Palace.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

15:14 , Richard Jolly, at Old Trafford

56 mins: United have made a bright start to the second half, with shots from Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte. Each required a fine save - but from Dean Henderson, a former United keeper. Perhaps it will shape up as a today when they have reasons to regret selling him.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

15:12 , Jamie Braidwood

54 mins: POST! Smart free-kick from United as Fernandes picks out Maguire, who sets up Ugarte with the knock-down. Ugarte swivels and catches the volley, which strikes the post down low!

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

15:11 , Jamie Braidwood

53 mins: United appeal for a yellow card after Hughes catches Fernandes on the slide. The United captain is now standing over the free-kick.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

15:09 , Jamie Braidwood

50 mins: Chance! Onana collects Guehi’s header and sparks the counter-attack. From Amad’s cross, Fernandes strikes first time! But it’s at a good height for Henderson to save to his right.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

15:07 , Jamie Braidwood

49 mins: Yellow card! Maguire goes into the book for a late lunge on Mateta, who had skipped away. Palace have a free kick in a decent position.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

15:05 , Jamie Braidwood

47 mins: Mainoo turns well on the halfway line to lead an attack, but Amad is doubled-up on out on the right and loses the ball.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

15:02 , Jamie Braidwood

Eberechi Eze was warming up a half time so could be use to chance the game for Crystal Palace in the second half.

The players are out - no changes for now between the teams.

HALF TIME! Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:49 , Jamie Braidwood

Manchester United started well and hit the post through Kobbie Mainoo, but it’s been an even game from there and Crystal Palace had the best chance of the first half when Mateta was played through on goal, only to chip wide.

Despite a promising first 15 minutes, United’s false 9 system has not worked as Ruben Amorim would have wanted.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:47 , Jamie Braidwood

45+1 mins: Smart wing play from Garnacho to get to the byline and cut it back to Martinez. The hero against Fulham, can he repeat the trick? No. Martinez fires over under pressure from Sarr, who threw himself into the challenge.

And there’s the half-time whistle.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:46 , Jamie Braidwood

45 mins: Into the final minute of added time. United have a free-kick in a decent position after Henderson was almost caught by Garnacho and kicked into touch, before Mateta fouled Ugarte from the restart.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:44 , Richard Jolly, at Old Trafford

42 mins: A first half that at least began well for Manchester United. It has not gone well, admittedly. Palace could easily be ahead. United look what they are - a team without a striker. A penny for the thoughts of the substitutes Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:40 , Jamie Braidwood

39 mins: CHANCE! Huge moment and Palace miss a golden opportunity! Lerma shrugs off Ugarte in midfield and slips in Mateta with a lovely pass. Mateta goes for the chip on his left foot, and Onana manages the slightest touch with his left hand to keep it out. It was so slight, however, that the referee points for a goal-kick.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:39 , Jamie Braidwood

36 mins: More frustration for Fernandes as another cross sails through. It was Mazraoui, the wing back, who was closest there. A cross begging for a striker in the middle perhaps? Mainoo has been very quiet since the first 15 minutes.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:35 , Jamie Braidwood

32 mins: United started brightly in the first 15 minutes but have lost their momentum, as Munoz goes down in the Palace box and receives some treatment after Fernandes over hit his free-kick from out wide.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:30 , Jamie Braidwood

28 mins: Ismaila Sarr has been bright and has turned into a wonderful signing for Palace. His cross from the right is caught by Onana.

Just after, Ugarte’s heavy touch allows Kamada to nick in. It’s followed by a late lunge from the United midfielder.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:28 , Richard Jolly, at Old Trafford

26 mins: Crystal Palace have been the more threatening side in the last 15 minutes. United may note how much of their threat has come from the two wing-backs, Tyrick Mitchell and Daniel Munoz. Given Amorim's insistence on his 3-4-3 shape, they could do with his wide men getting into the final third as often.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:27 , Jamie Braidwood

23 mins: Mainoo tries to go for a mazy dribble into the Palace box but is blocked by Richards and Lacroix. Palace have been hard to break down over the last 10 minutes or so, with their system now matching up with United’s.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:22 , Jamie Braidwood

20 mins: Chance! The first 15 minutes or so were all United but Palace have grown into it. Sarr slips in Kamada, who does not get his touch right, but he pulls it back to Mitchell for a strike at goal. Mitchell’s shot takes a flick of Sarr and drops just wide of the post. Mateta was waiting behind and he too could have steered it in.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:18

17 mins: Tremendous burst from Mateta as he drives from the edge of the Palace box to the other. The move ends with Lacroix taking a shot from distance. It bounces before Onana and he makes a decent stop low to his right.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:16 , Jamie Braidwood

14 mins: Couple of decent chances for United. First, Garnacho turns in the box and plays a low ball across the goal, but there’s no one there. Then Amad sweeps a cross towards the back post, with Yoro missing his header. Finally, Martinez lashes a shot over the bar, with his shot taking a touch off Mitchell on the way through. Good pressure from the hosts.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:13 , Jamie Braidwood

11 mins: After seeing a replay, Mainoo’s shot that struck the post took a slight deflection to take it away from Henderson but against the upright. There’s no doubt about it, Mainoo is a false nine, not a striker, with Garnacho and Amad playing about 10 to 15 yards ahead of him. United are dominating possession so far.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:11 , Jamie Braidwood

9 mins: Chance! Crystal Palace’s wing-backs combine as Mitchell swings in a cross and finds Munoz arriving at the back post. He gets a good connection on the header but it sails just over the top corner! Palace’s best moment so far. Martinez was beaten by Munoz at the back post.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:08 , Jamie Braidwood

6 mins: POST! Almost a goal for the false nine! It’s been a bright start from Mainoo and he links up with Amad to run towards the Palace box. A bobbled shot almost creeps in past Henderson, but strikes the post!

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:07 , Jamie Braidwood

4 mins: Chance! Nice play from United as Mazraoui gets high up the pitch. It’s worked into Mainoo and he looks to pull it back to Garnacho. His shot is blocked behind for a corner as Garnacho looked for the near post!

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:05 , Jamie Braidwood

3 mins: Fernandes is penalised for a slight tug on Lerma. There is bright sunshine on the pitch at Old Trafford. Indeed, as Richard Jolly points out, Mainoo is leading the United line, with Amad right and Garnacho left. Fernandes is behind, alongside Ugarte.

Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:03 , Richard Jolly

1 min: We have the strange sight of Kobbie Mainoo starting as United's centre-forward. It was unexpected, even in the context of this team selection. Perhaps the intention is that he will prove more of a false nine. It still seems bizarre.

KICK-OFF! Manchester United 0-0 Crystal Palace

14:01 , Jamie Braidwood

We are underway at Old Trafford - both teams are also wearing black armbands.

Ruben Amorim to play false 9 against Crystal Palace

13:57 , Jamie Braidwood

Ruben Amorim, speaking to the Premier League, about his decision to play a striker-less team against Crystal Palace.

He says his forwards will “try to play in different positions, to create some danger”.

“We also want to improve the way we take the game in the last third - we need to have more possession,” Amorim says.

Eberechi Eze surprises Crystal Palace by making the bench

13:56 , Jamie Braidwood

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner admitted he is “surprised” to see Eberechi Eze make the bench despite struggling with a foot issue.

“It looked like he was not available, but surprisingly for all of us he could train yesterday and he felt OK.

"It is very positive as he didn't train all week, it's not possible for him to start, but he is ready to contribute.

"He gives us a good option from the bench."

Manchester United remembers Munich Air Disaster

13:53 , Jamie Braidwood

Manchester United remembered the Munich Air Disaster ahead of the 67th anniversary on Thursday. As the closest match match to the 6 February date, United have come together to remember the 23 lives lost in the 1958 disaster, which included eight United players and three officials.

This is Ruben Amorim’s first anniversary of the disaster since taking charge and the Portuguese head coach had this to say on the importance of remembering the lives lost.

Amorim wrote in his programme notes: “When I first arrived at Manchester United in November, one of the first things I did was take a tour of Old Trafford so I could learn more about the club’s history.

“I had heard about the Munich Air Disaster, but in taking that tour and really absorbing the details of the tragedy and how the club reacted afterwards, I started to understand how special this club really is.

“Today, because we are in a difficult season, it feels like there is so much pressure on us, but when you look back at how the club responded to such a devastating event in 1958, we have it easy in comparison.

“That’s why it is so important to keep honouring the memory of Munich, as we mark our closest home game to the 67th anniversary of the disaster next Thursday.

“If you come here, you know you are joining a club with a history of winning, but it is more than that. More than trophies and success, there is a history of spirit and determination. There is a strength in this club that I think is unique. Every day, we need to show that strength.”

Man Utd sign England youth international Ayden Heaven from Arsenal

13:47 , Jamie Braidwood

This week, Manchester United also completed the signing of England youth international Ayden Heaven from Arsenal.

The 18-year-old has signed a deal until 2029, with the option of a further year, after the clubs reached an undisclosed compensation agreement.

Heaven made his first-team debut for Arsenal earlier in the season and United say he will be “immediately” linking up with Ruben Amorim’s “first-team squad”.

“I am incredibly proud to join Manchester United,” the England Under-19s international said.

“I’m grateful to everyone who helped make this dream a reality. There is so much that I want to achieve in the game. I’ll be giving everything to continue my development and become the best player that I can be.”

Diogo Dalot backs Man Utd to come through 'storm'

13:35 , Jamie Braidwood

Diogo Dalot is convinced the “storm” at Manchester United will pass and is using Ruben Amorim’s “worst team” barb as motivation to help change things.

“Football is always unpredictable, but what you can see is that we are trying to be more consistent about it, trying to win more games, and that’s the part that we want to keep,” Dalot said this week.

“It doesn’t mean that things will be lovely until the end of the season, but that’s where we want to go. We are really positive about it.

“We know that this storm that everybody is talking about, it will go away, but we need to suffer as a team, as a club, fans have to be together with us and I’m sure that they will rise again.”

Ruben Amorim heaps praise on Alejandro Garnacho, who starts today

13:35 , Jamie Braidwood

Ruben Amorim heaped praise on Alejandro Garnacho this week for the way he has kicked on and “changed in everything” since the disappointment of being left out of the Manchester derby.

It is seven weeks since the Argentina international and fellow academy graduate Marcus Rashford were surprisingly omitted from the United squad that went on to to secure a late comeback win at City.

The talented forward has knuckled down and impressed off the bench, including providing an assist, in Thursday’s 2-0 win at FCSB as United sealed progress to the Europa League round of 16.

“He changed right away since that game against City,” head coach Amorim said of Garnacho. “The way he understands things and understands that I just want to help him, I just want to win games.”

“He changed in everything: the approach when you talk with him, the way he recovers. He understands that sometimes I’m a different coach, that I am demanding in my way and sometimes it’s hard with the first impact because it’s a different kind of coach.

“He understands that it is never in a bad way, it’s always for him, but I am different person. I think all the merit (goes to) Garnacho. He is improving and we want to continue to improve with Garnacho.”

Aston Villa close in on Marcus Rashford loan from Manchester United

13:23 , Richard Jolly

Aston Villa are closing in on signing Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United before the transfer window closes on Monday.

The Midlands club are looking at the England international as they search for a replacement for Jhon Duran, who has been sold to Al-Nassr.

Rashford has also attracted interest from Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and AC Milan, among others, after revealing he was considering leaving Old Trafford.

And he has potentially already played his last game for Manchester United after he was left out of the matchday squad again today.

New signings to be unveiled at Old Trafford

Manchester United will present their two new signings to the Old Trafford crowd before kick-off. Ayden Heaven joined from Arsenal on Saturday, Patrick Dorgu from Lecce on Sunday. They are the first buys of Ruben Amorim's reign, at a time when the first outgoings are nearing with Marcus Rashford and Tyrell Malacia potentially leaving on loan.

Ruben Amorim goes bold with striker-less line-up

12:59 , Richard Jolly

An intriguing selection, and not merely when Marcus Rashford may be on his way out of Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim has picked a team without a striker. The initial expectation is that Amad Diallo will be the furthest man forward - or false nine - though it could be Alejandro Garnacho.

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace team news

12:53 , Jamie Braidwood

Interesting team news from Old Trafford as Ruben Amorim selects Alejandro Garnacho and leaves both of his strikers on the bench. United’s front three looks to be Garnacho, Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes - any one of them could play as a false 9. Both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are on the bench.

Crystal Palace line up with a 3-4-3, with Daniel Munoz and Tyrick Mitchell mirroring United’s wing-backs. There’s no Eberechi Eze in the starting line-up but the England international has made the bench despite struggling with a foot issue. Daichi Kamada comes in to the starting XI.

We’ll have the line-ups from Old Trafford in a few minutes. Marcus Rashford is unlikely to feature as he closes in on a move to Aston Villa but could Alejandro Garnacho get another chance to impress as speculation around his future continues? And will Kobbie Mainoo get another shot at the No 10 position after impressing in the Europa League win over FSBC?

As for Crystal Palace, the loss of Eberechi Eze is a big blow. But could it open the door to Romain Esse for his first Premier League start?

Happy hunting ground?

12:29 , Jamie Braidwood

Crystal Palace won at Old Trafford last season, beating Manchester United 1-0 ion their last visit in September 2023. It was the third time the Eagles had won at Old Trafford since the start of the 2019/20 season, and, overall, Palace have won five of their last 11 Premier League matches against United, drawing another three.

Manchester United have clinched the signing of Patrick Dorgu from Lecce for an initial £25m.

The Denmark international, who is their second signing of the weekend after bringing in teenage defender Ayden Heaven from Arsenal, has been bought as a wing-back to suit new head coach Ruben Amorim’s system.

The 20-year-old has signed a five-and-a-half year contract, which the club have the option to extend for a further season until 2031. United believe he has the potential to prove world class and add-ons could take his eventual fee to £29m.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of Manchester United vs Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

The hosts are aiming to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time this season after beating Fulham away from home last weekend. Ruben Amorim’s side have also won two games in a row in the Europa League, so bring a three-match winning run into this.

Crystal Palace have been in better form under Oliver Glasner but asw a five-game unbeaten run come to an end against Brentford last weekend, losing 2-1. Palace have won three of their last five visits to Old Trafford.
