Manchester United will be looking to extend their brilliant winning run against Crystal Palace.

Marcus Rashford will be looking to score in his eighth match in a row, and Erik ten Hag will be hoping to continue Manchester United‘s winning start after the return of the Premier League.

Before the fixture, Ten Hag was full of praise for his players.

“How I see they transfer the plan to the game I think was brilliant,” Ten Hag said in his pre-match press conference.

“To see how they are in possession. We talked about the role of Bruno Fernandes, but out of possession – how we defended against the front players of Manchester City – it was really good.

“I trust them. They were behind the plan fully [against City], 100 per cent, and controlled the game for long periods in the first half.”

“I am convinced of (the belief the team has). Teams need experience to build that mentality, to build that belief, that a game is only over when the ref whistles for the last time.”
