United lost 1-0 at homeWorst start in 34 yearsTen Hag not happy with teamWHAT HAPPENED?

Joachim Andersen gave Palace a shock win in the Premier League clash when he was found at the back post to meet a free kick and fire it past Andre Onana after 25 minutes.

United pressed for the equaliser and had a total of 19 attempts, but only four of those were on target and they left the field with a fourth defeat in the league this season.

The defeat leaves United 10th in the table and nine points behind leaders Manchester City, who suffered a 2-1 loss to Wolves, and Ten Hag was left disappointed by his team's performance.

The latest slip up means United have made their worst start to a Premier League campaign in 34 years and Ten Hag had a lot to say about his team's below par performance.

WHAT THEY SAID

"It's actually quite simple," he said. "We concede only three chances over the course of the whole game, three from set-plays.

"Their goal, first of all, the free-kick. You have to be more controlled, it's not necessary to make a foul there. Then the ball is coming into the box and it's not good defending.

"And we had poor decisions in the final third. We came so often in good positions, behind or in front of their backline, we had three players there in that moment. We didn't have an impact to get to their goal and so whatever, the extra pass, final pass or a shot.

"The quality was just not good enough in that part of the game. In the final part of the game, we didn't play our best game."
