Manchester United found themselves grappling with frustration as they were held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
United goalkeeper Andre Onana was the standout player, pulling off a stunning double save to keep Palace at bay. He received a 9/10 rating in our post-match report.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Onana said: “I don’t think it is so important because we didn’t win. We are such a big club. When we move somewhere, we have the ambition to try to win.
“We didn’t win but I’m happy for the work, the sacrifice of my team-mates because I think we were better than them.
“We had so many chances but unfortunately, we didn’t score. It’s difficult to come back with one point when we deserved to win.”
“Football sometimes, you can’t control everything. We were coming in, we had more chances and I had faith always in my guys.
“Today, we hit the crossbar twice and hopefully in the coming games, we will score a lot.”
Andre Onana saved Man United from embarrasment
Despite dominating possession and creating several chances, the Red Devils could not find a way past the Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
Each missed opportunity felt like a dagger and later resulted in dropping two points.
Onana kept out an initial effort from former Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah before making a fantastic reaction save to deny Ismaila Sarr.
He dived to his left to block Nketiah’s strike and then had to spring up quickly to deny the rebounded effort from Sarr.
It was a massive moment in the game as United struggled to find their bite in the attacking third.
His acrobatic heroics helped United salvage a point that could have been much worse on a different night.
The Eagles had another opportunity to score in the injury time but the United defence managed to maintain the deadlock.
It was a frustrating night for the Red Devils as 66% ball possession and 15 shots resulted in only one point.
They have amassed only seven points in five Premier League games this season. They host Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford next Sunday in the English top flight.
