Crystal Palace 0-0 Man United: Red Devils held to a goalless draw after hitting the bar twice and missing glut of chances while Andre Onana spares blushes after stunning double save

It would be no exaggeration to say Manchester United created enough chances to win three separate football matches here on a balmy south London Saturday night. Manchester United were held to a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park Alejandro Garnacho hit the woodwork in the first half as United wasted a host of chances Palace could have taken the lead late on but Andre Onana pulled off a stunning double save By the time referee Craig Taylor blew for half-time Rashford's omission was a side issue. MATCH FACTS Crystal Palace: Henderson 8; Lacroix 6, Guehi 6.5, Richards 6.5; Munoz 6.5, Wharton 5, Kamada 6.5, Mitchell 6; Nketiah 7.5, Mateta 5.5, 6.5, Eze 6 Subs not used: Ward, Clyne, Turner, Umeh-Chibueze, Ofega Agbinone Booked: Henderson, Hughes, Lacroix Manager: Oliver Glasner 6.5 Manchester United : Onana 7; Mazraoui 7, De Ligt 7.5, Martinez 7, Dalot 7; Mainoo 7, Eriksen 7.5 ; Amad 6.5, Fernandes 7, Garnacho 6.5; Zirkzee 6 Subs not used: Bayindir, Maguire, Mount, Casemiro, Antony, Evans Booked: Garnacho, Martinez Manager: Erik ten Hag 7 Referee: Craig Taylor 7 Attendance: 25,172 The real narrative here - and not for the first time this season - was United's profligacy. Garnacho was handed a start ahead of Marcus Rashford and threatened down the left Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson made several stops, including from Matthijs de Ligt Henderson sprawled across to his left to tip Garnacho's effort wide of the far post Lisandro Martinez was also denied by the former United stopper at the front post Palace improved after half-time with Eddie Nketiah squeezing off a shot under pressure Joshua Zirkzee's low ball across the face of goal missed Garnacho's foot by inches That would have been some miscarriage of justice, not even Oliver Glasner could argue to the contrary. Eberechi Eze proved a thorn in United's side as Palace looked to score against the run of play Martinez was perhaps fortunate to avoid a red card after a two-footed challenge But there would have been nothing the United shot-stopper could have done if Eze hit the target from 10 yards after an excellent exchange with Sarr in the 72nd minute.
