Both sides failed to break the deadlock in this match, and finally shook hands with a score of 0-0. Manchester United's performance in the new season of the Premier League fluctuates, after 5 rounds of only 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

Garnacho and B Faye both had shots that hit the post, while Crystal Palace were relatively conservative, with only 1 shot on goal in the entire first half. Although United dominated in terms of possession and attacking play, they failed to convert their advantage into a win.
The second half started with both sides continuing to battle it out. Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson performed well, deflecting many of United's threatening shots. United's goalkeeper, Onana, was not to be outdone, he also performed a miraculous double save to keep the goal intact. As the game progressed, both players' fitness gradually decreased, but the situation on the field was still stalemate.
In the end, the match ended with Manchester United drawing 0-0 with Crystal Palace on the road. The draw was certainly a big blow to United, as they have not been consistent in their performance in the new Premier League season. Although they have had some great performances to beat strong opponents, they have also dropped points on weak teams many times. Currently, United is in the middle of the table, and there is already a gap between them and the teams at the top of the table.
