Manchester United were scappy and started poorly at home against Crystal Palace unlike their midweek performance against the Eagles in the Carabao Cup.
Roy Hodgson's men took an early lead at Old Trafford in courtesy of a well delivered free kick from Eberechi Eze and at that moment onwards, Manchester United looked lost.
Erik ten Hag made a desperate halftime change in search of a much-needed equalizer against the Eagles, but his side appeared weak and clueless in face of goal.
The Red Devils misery continued in the second half, but the introduction of Alejandro Garnacho brought pace, strength and aggression in Man United's attack, but it was clearly not enough for Erik ten Hag's men to salvage a point against the Eagles.
Rasmus Højlund and Mason Mount were the two shinning stars in Man United's discouraging defeat at Old Trafford this afternoon, but their next Premier League game appears to be a bigger test.
Now, with all that in mind and no further delays, let's quickly take a look at the main central message of this article.
Below are the three players to blame for Man United's failure to score an equalizer against Crystal Palace.
1. Marcus Rashford
Yet again, the Man United talisman went missing as the Red Devils fell to a 1-0 defeat at home against Crystal Palace.
2. Rasmus Højlund
The Dane international was lively in the first half but gradually faded away as the intensity of the Premier League encounter between Manchester United and Crystal Palace grew.
He also missed an effort that should have drawn Manchester United level against Roy Hodgson's men.
3. Bruno Fernandes
The former Sporting midfielder had an awful afternoon to forget at Old Trafford.
Majority of his intended passes were misplaced, and his deliveries were questioned at times by his Man United teammates.
