95'FT: Man Utd 1-0 C Palace!! All over at Old Trafford and a late Fred goal gives Man Utd the points. The hosts were much better in the first half, but the second half was much quieter and it could've been very different had Ayew scored just before Fred did. It's a good start for Rangnick, but there's definitely work to do. Thanks for your company and see you again soon!

94'One minute left in this one and Man Utd will win, but after an impressive first half display, the second period has been far from spectacular from a United perspective.

45'HT: Man U 0-0 C Palace!! Half-time at Old Trafford and it's a fair score. Man Utd have been the better side, but apart from a 10 minute spell, Palace have kept the hosts at bay easily. Telles, Ronaldo, Fernandes and Dalot have had chances while Palace, after attacking early on, have done little in attack. Benteke and Zaha have had their best chances. Back shortly!

Yellow card
a Crystal Palace
-
31'Clyne is booked after catching Fred on the leg. He gets the ball first and then his momentum takes him into the player. It's clearly not deliberate, but I think the way he ended up going into Fred has got him booked.
-
28'An another corner for the hosts. It's been relentless in the last 5-10 minutes.
-
27'United are pressing and Palace somehow survive again!
-
26'Fernandes!!! Ronaldo gives the ball to Fernandes just outside the box and Guaita makes the save! It wasn't going on target.
-
25'Man U are pinning Palace in their own half here. The Eagles haven't got into United's half for a good 10 minutes now.
-
23'Fred shoots from inside the D and Tomkins gets his head to it to divert it for a corner!
-
22'Ronaldo!! Rashford gets the ball in the area, he lays off to Ronaldo whose effort is straight forward for Guaita.
-

-
18'Ronaldo!! Fernandes passes to Ronaldo who wins the corner off Guehi! Good block.

-
12'Ronaldo tries his luck, but the ball flies over the bar,
-
11'Rashford is brought down by Schlupp 25 yards out.
