Man Utd 1-2 Crystal Palace: 5 Talking points as United suffer their first loss of the season | Premier League 2019/ 2020

Penalty Woes

United could have come home victorious in the game against Wolverhampton and could have equalised a lot earlier today if only they converted their penalties. It is not often you get a spot kick from the 18-yard box. It is even rarer still to miss two consecutive ones.

Last week it was Pogba, today it was Rashford. The young Englishman had his head in the right place. His execution unfortunately failed him. He aimed to place the ball in the corner. However, instead, it hit the post and ricocheted to the goal line and to safety.

It is imperative that Solskjaer instills confidence in his player and not take the responsibility away from him next match. Playing musical chairs will only lead to decadence of morale in the players. Rashford may have a good head on his shoulders but he is still a young player who will need guidance when the chips are down. To know that he has the manager’s backing will definitely spur him to raise his game.
