Man United Vs Crystal Palace: Amorim's Side Lose At Home Again

United lost again at home, 2-0 to Crystal Palace, and now has seven defeats in 13 league games at Old Trafford this season — something not seen since the 1890s. On the day locally born striker Marcus Rashford edged closer to a departure from Old Trafford, Manchester United lacked a cutting edge up front in the loss to Crystal Palace. And there was more bad news Sunday for United with a tearful Lisandro Martinez carried off on a stretcher with a left knee injury – the latest injur♔y to afflict the Argentina defender. Jean-Philippe Mateta scored both goals in the second half for Palace to end United’s three-match winning run in all competitions — a streak coming after manager Ruben Amorim had called his team “the worst team, maybe, in the history of Manchester United.”
