‘Heading in the right direction’ – Pundit backs Ten Hag in Crystal Palace clash

Manchester United are set to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday evening in the latest Premier League fixtures. 

Manchester United boss will be happy that his side has won the last two games with a 3-0 win last weekend at Saint Mary’s against Southampton.

The Red Devils continued their winning form with an impressive showing in the midweek 7-0 victory against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup.

Marcus Rashford looks to have turned a corner and regained his confidence ahead of the Crystal Palace clash with three goals in the last two games.

As the Red Devils look to continue their winning ways, the former Ajax boss will be aware of the quality that Oliver Glasner’s Palace side possess after a 4-0 defeat in May.

Chris Sutton predicts Manchester United win in Crystal Palace clash

Former Premier League champion Chris Sutton believes Ten Hag is showing signs of improvement in the last two games.

The former Balckburn Rovers star has given his prediction of the Crytsla Palce clash on BBC Sport.

Speaking on BBC Sport, Sutton said: “Crystal Palace pumped Manchester United 4-0 in May, but since then they have sold Michael Olise, who scored twice in that game and makes goals as well as scores them.

“Eagles boss Oliver Glasner made a huge impact when he came in last season but, so far, this campaign has not been plain sailing for him.

“Glasner wants to play an attacking brand of football but I feel like that will suit Manchester United, and that Erik ten Hag’s side can hurt Palace the same way they hurt Southampton last week.

“It was a big moment in the game when Andre Onana saved Cameron Archer’s penalty but, after that, United were pretty good, with Marcus Rashford looking lively.

“My first instinct was that this would end in a draw but I am actually going to go with United to win it. I am still not sure about Ten Hag but I just have a sense they might be heading in the right direction, and Palace have not got going yet.”
