The Reds then doubled the advantage with Rashford rounding off a superb team goal. Martial controlled the ball out of the air, before Jadon Sancho picked it up, with Martial running onto his pass. He then played in substitute Donny van de Beek, who squared for our no.10 to apply the finishing touch.
And soon after, on the hour mark, it was three. Martial’s delightful through ball put Sancho clean through, as the England international raced through to caress his right-footed effort beyond Remi Matthews.
Wholesale changes then followed for United, with youngsters Amad, Will Fish, Zidane Iqbal and Charlie Savage all introduced. With 15 minutes remaining, Crystal Palace got a goal back, as Joel Ward headed in a Luka Milivojevic corner.
Fish was then set off late on for a foul on Victor Akinwale, denying the Eagles youngster a goalscoring chance, as Ten Hag’s side held out for victory.
