Manchester United fell to a second successive Premier League defeat at home as<a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2023/09/30/manchester-uniteds-miserable-start-continues-with-crystal-palace-defeat/" target="_blank"> Joachim Andersen's superb finish earned Crystal Palace a hard-fought victory</a> at Old Trafford. It was also United's fourth defeat in seven league games which is the club's worst start to a Premier League season and leaves them 10th in the table. United had beaten Palace 3-0 at Old Trafford in the League Cup on Tuesday but any hopes of a repeat result were blown away by a determined and disciplined performance from Roy Hodsgon's side. “I understand, when we play home or away and we play Crystal Palace we have to win – with all respect,” said United manager Erik ten Hag. “I know every game in the Premier League is difficult and you have to play your best, but I understand fans are expecting a win and we didn't win and we lost. “I can give you reasons but you will explain it as an excuse and there are no excuses, we have to win.”
