11 teams who have never won against Manchester United in the Premier League

Crystal Palace v Manchester United - Premier League
Matic's sublime strike in the 91st minute helped United seal all three points

The more we talk about the phenomenal second-half performance by Manchester United against Crystal Palace, the more magical it seems to get. While the comeback performance sparked pandemonium at Selhurst Park, and brought back fond memories of Sir Alex Ferguson's famous Fergie time, it also meant the continuation of a notorious record for the Eagles - that they have never been able to beat United in the Premier League.

Apart from newbies Brighton Hove & Albion who have played only one match against United and lost 1-0 earlier this season , there are some other teams who can fit into this category. Let's have a look at all those teams who have never been able to win against the mighty Manchester United in the Premier League since 1992:

#11 Barnsley

<p>
United have scored 9 goals in 2 games against the Tykes.

The team based out of Southern Yorkshire have played in the Premier League only once - in the 1997-98 season where they were brutally hammered by Sir Alex's high-flying Manchester United.

#10 Blackpool

Blackpool v Manchester United - Premier League
Berbatov's double helped United mount a stunning comeback against Blackpool.

Two matches and two stunning comebacks are what Blackpool managed from Manchester United. Blackpool joined the Premier League in the 2010-11 season and unfortunately got relegated at the end of the season after finishing 19th. However, the two matches that they played against Manchester United were nothing short of drama. In both the matches, Blackpool took the lead, only for Manchester United to make a stunning comeback and win the game.

#9 Cardiff City

<p>
Cardiff scored a 91st-minute equalizer to salvage a draw against David Moyes' Manchester United.

Cardiff's only Premier League appearance coincided with a new era in Manchester United's history as David Moyes took charge of the Red Devils after Sir Alex Ferguson hung up his boots at the end of the previous season. While the first match against the Bluebirds proved to be a thriller with Kim Bo-Kyung scoring a 91st-minute equalizer, United eased past them in the second leg at Old Trafford.

#8 Swindon Town

United win against Swindon.
United won one and drew the other with Swindon Town in the first season of Premier League.

Swindon Town had a very brief cameo in the debut season of Premier League. With just five victories and conceding over 100 goals, they got relegated at the end of the season. Of the two matches they played against the eventual champions Manchester United, they lost 4-2 at Old Trafford and managed to draw the second one at County Ground.

<p>Bradford has never managed to score against Manchester United
Bradford has never managed to score against Manchester United

Now playing in the third tier of English football, Bradford City plied their trade in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons (1999-00, 2000-01) before bowing out. In those two seasons in the top tier of English football, they not only lost all the matches in the Premier League against Manchester United but also couldn't score a single goal against the Mancunians. In fact, they have always conceded 3 or more goals against Sir Alex's rampant devils.

#6 Reading

Reading v Manchester United - Premier League
The Royals were close to beating United in 2012 but lost in a thrilling encounter.

The team against which Wayne Rooney scored his 249th goal for Manchester United (thereby making him the highest goal-scorer in their history), has been relegated twice from the Premier League. In the three seasons that they played in Premier League, Reading never managed to beat United. Their most entertaining match against the Red Devils in the Premier League was the 4-3 defeat at Madejski Stadium in 2012 where they almost got their wish before a Rooney equalizer and a Robin van Persie goal broke their hearts.

#5 Hull City

<p>
The Tigers got relegated last season

The Tigers (Hull City) were a part of the Premier League for five seasons - the most recent one being the 2016-17 season where they crashed out after finishing 18th in the league. In five seasons, Hull's worst result was the 4-0 hammering at Old Trafford in 2010, where Rooney scored all the four goals.

#4 Charlton Athletic

Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Scott Parker
Charlton's best game against United was when they came back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3

United loved scoring against Charlton Athletic in the Premier League - They have pumped 41 goals against the Addicks. Charlton, on the other hand, have only managed to score 8 in return, 3 of them coming in a thrilling 3-3 draw in December 2010. On four different occasions, Manchester United have managed to ship 4 goals past the Charlton net.

#2 Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers v Manchester United - Premier League
The London-based side got relegated in 2015

Many would remember QPR to be the team against which Sergio Aguero scored the dramatic last-minute winner to help Manchester City win their first ever Premier League title. While the blue half of Manchester has fond memories of their encounters with the London-based Rangers, the red half is not far behind. From a memorable 3-1 comeback in November 2012 (with 3 goals in the space of eight minutes) to a 4-0 trashing under Louis van Gaal with Di Maria and Herrera scoring their first goals, United have a commendable record against the Hoops.

#1 Crystal Palace

Enter c
United's wantaway star Fellaini scored a brace earlier this season to help United beat Palace 4-0

The only team on this list who is still playing in the Premier League, Crystal Palace were agonizingly close to breaking free from this notorious list, but Nemanja Matic had other plans. Yesterday's agonizing defeat still doesn't come close to their 4-0 annihilation earlier this season with Marouane Fellaini scoring a brace between a 3' Juan Mata and a 86' Lukaku strike.
