Man united vs crystal palace outcomes, highlights and analysis as martial, sancho and rashford big name for the pink devils
Manchester United produced their most impressive performance of the pre-season as they lost 3-1 to Crystal Palace at the MCG in Melbourne, Australia on Tuesday.
Attacking trio Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho all got on the scoresheet as Erik ten Haga's side were raring to go, albeit shaky in defence.
Martial - whose United career was uncertain after being loaned out to Sevilla last season - opened the scoring with a superb finish after a wonderful cross from Diego Dalot.
Although Palace created two half-time chances at the break, United dominated the half but did not get their second goal until after the break.
United scored a superb team goal that saw Rashford disappear into an empty net after Donny van de Beek, Martial and Sancho cut through the Palace defence.
It was three after 10 minutes as Martial Sancho played in goal, the England winger finishing clinically after the keeper had a dummy.
After the teams replaced most of the players on the pitch, Palace became more involved in the game,
with Joel Ward heading in a consolation goal for Patrick Vieira's side, while defender Will Fish was sent off late on for United.
Is Anthony Martial back? Martial's United career looked all but over last season after he was loaned out to Sevilla and struggled to make his mark.
