Boos rang out at the end end after a first-half goal from Joachim Andersen gave Crystal Palace a 1-0 win at Manchester United
Erik ten Hag will have to discard the buzzword Manchester United’s manager came into this game citing. “Momentum” is now obliterated after a defeat that ends a run of victories at two as, yet again, Ten Hag’s men must regroup, this time for Galatasaray in Tuesday’s Champions League group game.
On Friday the manager had named Alejandro Garnacho as a player who was not in the team as a result of not performing. Yet United were suddenly an electric proposition when the rocket-booted winger entered in the second half. In one moment of devilry Garnacho bamboozled Palace along their right byline, his cross ricocheting off two defenders as the ball threatened to go anywhere – including past Sam Johnstone for the equaliser.
As Chris Kavanagh prepared to blow for time Harry Maguire, another substitute, sprayed the ball out of play instead of finding a cross or a teammate. When the referee did whistle the end to the contest, boos greeted United’s latest reverse. This was comprehensible as the unpalatable truth for Ten Hag is his side lacked the guile to unpick a doughty Palace.

On June 18, Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, a city southeast of Vancouver. The relationship between India and Canada was then severely damaged in September when the Canadian Prime Minister accused India of being involved in the death of Nijjar during a speech in Parliament. Mr Rubin said politicians from both sides of US politics put a strong importance on the country’s relationship with India. “The United States strategy is going to be on this is simply to drag things out until emotions stabilise,” he said.
