Manchester United fans react after yet another goalless draw, this time against Crystal Palace
Manchester United fans will be forgiven for thinking they wasted their time tuning in to watch the club take on Crystal Palace.
The club has made it a habit of garnering goalless draws and did the same at Selhurst Park. Worryingly, it was our third straight 0-0 result in all competitions and does not augur well ahead of a crucial time in the season.
Although the club had the lion’s share of possession, they managed just one shot on goal against a side that are 13th in the table.
The only positive one could garner from the game was the assuredness showcased by Dean Henderson. The same cannot be said of the attack that huffed and puffed without creating much.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a real job on his hands and should avoid being drawn into the fight for top four. Having been top in January, we are now 14 points behind Manchester City.
Both teams face off this weekend in what could be the final nail in United’s underwhelming title challenge.
Fans were clearly not happy with the performance and made it known on social media. We take a look at a few of them below.

Bruno carried us to top 4, and we bottled the UCL when needing 1pt from 2 games

Disgraceful performance. Only Henderson can keep his head up after today’s shameful game with that last minute save. Ole did nothing to change the game at all and the players were terrible, the worst of all Rashford, a player less on the field

Rashford & Bruno are burnt out, tatics seemingly poor, thats an embarrassing performance, no need to even watch the City Game anyway. Waste of time

Highlight of the game was rashford telling Maguire to shut up
