Reinvented Manchester United Look To Add More Momentum To Winning Run Against Crystal Palace
The Manchester United vs Crystal Palace clash should be a pretty entertaining clash because both teams are heading into the encounter with some positive momentum behind them.
The Red Devils have won five of their last six matches under the tenure of Michael Carrick, who is making them play much better attacking football and appears to have improved their defensive structure too, resulting in their recent gritty 1-0 win over Everton.
Crystal Palace were finally able to end their lengthy winless streak in their recent win over Wolverhampton Wanderers and will now look to add more consistency to push further up the Premier League table.
Oliver Glasner, who might be a potential contender for the Manchester United job in the summer, will look to structure his side to frustrate the Red Devils and hit them hard on counter-attacks.
Manchester United have won three of their last five matches against the Eagles, but ended up losing in the reverse fixture at Selhurst Park and will look to get their revenge for that in the upcoming clash.

Benjamin Sesko has seemingly turned into the ideal super-sub option for Manchester United under Michael Carrick, having scored three goals in his last four appearances from the bench.
It appears that Carrick actually prefers him coming off the bench and using his pace as well as his efficient finishing ability against tired defenders in the final 30 minutes of matches.
Sesko is likely to be used as a substitute again in the Manchester United vs Crystal Palace clash, but he’ll look to make the most of it.
The Slovenian forward will look to use his clever off-the-ball movement to disrupt the opposition backline and also strike the killer blow to hopefully get the win for the Red Devils.
New Crystal Palace Striker Jacob Strand Larsen Determined To Torment Manchester United

The Norwegian forward is determined to prove himself as a better option than Jean-Philippe Mateta and can win over his fans with a clinical display at Old Trafford.
Larsen is a pretty physical forward and will look to use his power to get into the empty spaces in the final third and bully the defenders.
He’ll also need to be extremely efficient with his finishing to be able to inspire his side to run riot at Old Trafford and get an important win.
