Manchester United continued their perfect record under Erik ten Hag with a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace in Melbourne. In their penultimate match of their pre-season tour in Australia, United were once again impressive as they built on wins over Liverpool and Melbourne Victory.
Anthony Martial got his third goal of pre-season, before Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho extended the lead after the break in a dominant showing. It was a messy final 20 minutes though from United, after making a number of substitutions, as Joel Ward netted a consolation goal and teenager Will Fish was shown a straight red card late on.
United now travel to Perth where they will face Aston Villa, while Palace will join them there for a match against Leeds. Much of the Eagles’ first-team remain in the UK, due to being unable to travel to Australia, and they will face Gillingham later on Tuesday.
