Manchester United aims to build on their recent successes as they prepare to take on Crystal Palace in a Saturday Premier League match.
After a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Liverpool, Erik ten Hag’s squad has bounced back impressively. They secured a comfortable 3-0 win against Southampton in their last league outing and achieved a remarkable 7-0 victory over Barnsley in the EFL Cup.
Last season, Palace convincingly won 4-0 against United at Selhurst Park, but their current form has been challenging as they have yet to secure a win in their first four league matches of the new season. They faced a tough match against QPR in the cup earlier this week.
