The Englishman started in his preferred left forward role and attracted a lot of attention from the opposition defense. Marcus Rashford seems to have built quite a reputation for himself because Crystal Palace were always wary whenever he had the ball.

The away side tried to deny him time and space in the final third but were also afraid to engage him one on one. Despite this, the Englishman saw plenty of the ball but did very little with it in the first half.

Rashford had opportunities in the first half but failed to hit the target. He attempted two free kicks, none of which ended anywhere near the opposition goal.

The Englishman was guilty of taking too much time on the ball and that gave Palace enough time to deal with him. Rashford continued to be poor in the second half but then had a chance at redemption when Scott McTominay won a penalty. Rashford stepped up, but his shot came off the upright, as United failed to draw level.

The Englishman was wasteful with the ball, absolutely ineffective in the final third and his performance cost United the game.
