It was a goalless draw between Manchester United and Crystal Palace. Erik ten Hag’s side lost a lot of opportunities in the first half but managed to keep Crystal Palace from scoring. But Man United was dominant, denying the South London-based club any breakthroughs.
But Crystal Palace held its own. The team’s goalkeeper Dean Henderson kept the momentum up denying Man United any goals. However, praise was for Man United’s keeper Andre Onana who made some excellent saves, notably in the second half when he denied Crystal Palace’s Eddie Nketiah and Ismaila Sarr goals.
Onana, 28, brushed off the praises saying, it’s not important as Man United didn’t win. He said Manchester United is a very big club and has the ambition to win. Onana added that he is happy with the way the team played and his team mates defense.
He believes Man United was the better team than Crystal Palace. Despite the chances, it couldn’t score. Onana said it’s difficult for them to go back with one point.

Man United Disappointed with No Win
The Reds played to win but returned home disappointed. Onana says football is such, that one cannot control everything. Ten Hag believes the team played well and ate Crystal Palace alive. He said the boys lost many opportunities to score in the first half and kept the pressure up, while the second half was more of a balance.
The Man United manager said the team played very well and had total control of the game – in and out of possession. However, the boys didn’t do much in the box, where the game was decided. Ten Hag says they should be more clinical.
