Manchester United 2-0 Crystal Palace: 5 Talking Points

Old Trafford’s nerves were settled thanks to the own goal

Antonio Valencia’s pace at right-back causes Papa Souare a number of problems

Antonio Valencia was at his very best last night

Ever since Ecuadorian winger Antonio Valencia made his return from injury, he has been in sublime touch for United. The Palace game was yet another example of what he is capable of, making those dashing runs down the flanks and getting quality crosses into the box.

He gave Pape Souare a tough evening to deal with, beating him for pace and not allowing himself to get dispossessed by the Eagles’ left-back.

Valencia may well be in contention for a starting place when United face off against Everton in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Everton at Wembley.
