It was a frustrating evening for Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag with his Red Devils putting in a relatively impressive performance but not being able to take advantage in a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace.
Manchester United had to settle for a single point after being unable to convert their chances against Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace side.
There were positives to take from this evening’s action but Ten Hag will be frustrated with the result.
Manchester United are set to face FC Twente midweek in their opening Europa League fixture on Wednesday night, before facing Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford in the Premier League next weekend.
