Man United Starting XI Prediction at Crystal Palace

Manchester United did exactly what they were supposed to do, when they thrashed Barnsley FC 7-0 in midweek League Cup action. That’s exactly what a big, rich club must do to a Championship side. Now they’ll have extra added enthusiasm for when they travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday. This has been a very tricky fixture in recent years for United, especially on the road, so manager Erik ten Hag will take it very seriously.

Onana the Hero: Fans can’t believe what Southampton did seconds before penalty vs Man Utd

Fans were left confused after seeing what Southampton players did before their missed penalty against Manchester United.

The Saints were given an opportunity to take the lead at St Mary’s on 32 minutes after debutant Tyler Dibling was brought down in the area by Diogo Dalot.

Cameron Archer stepped up to take the spot kick, but Andre Onana got down well to his right to keep it out.

United then cleared, and scored themselves just two minutes later through defender Matthijs de Ligt.

It was therefore a nightmare passage of play for Russell Martin’s side as they look to register their first point in the Premier League season.

Marcus Rashford then made it 2-0 before half-time with a curling 25-yard finish with his right foot.

But prior to the missed penalty, fans were surprised at what Southampton chose to do.

Ben Brereton Diaz looked as if he was about to take the penalty, but stepped back and allowed Archer to take it instead.

There was then a significant wait before the penalty was taken, with Archer missing from 12 yards.

A brilliant chance for Southampton to take the lead early on 🫣

“They want me out of the club but i am determined to stay at Man United and fight for his place with £375k-a-week midfielder to REJECT any offers to move to Turkey

Casemiro is determined to fight for his place at Manchester United and will reject any offers to sign for Galatasaray before the transfer window closes in Turkey next week.

The Istanbul club are weighing up a move for the Brazil midfielder who was substituted at half-time in United’s defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday after his mistakes led to two goals by Luis Diaz

It was the latest setback for Casemiro whose form has dipped since an outstanding first season at United following his £70million move from Real Madrid in 2022.

The 32-year-old has been left out of Brazil’s squad for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay.

His place at United is under threat from Manuel Ugarte after the Uruguayan arrived in a £50.5millon deal from Paris Saint-Germain last week, but it’s understood that Casemiro has no interest in leaving Old Trafford at the moment.

He is the club’s top earner on £375,000-a-week and it’s unlikely Galatasaray, who have until a week on Friday to make a move before the Turkish deadline, could afford his wages.

United are expecting Casemiro back in training after the international break to prepare for their next game against Southampton.

The club have been open to offers for the five-time Champions League winner, and former football director John Murtough travelled to Saudi Arabia in December to gauge the level of interest.

However, there were no bids before the Saudi Pro League window closed on Monday night.
