"Any united fans struggling to sleep tonight, remember code Merson40 will save you 40% at http://supremecbd.uk 😉😂👍🏻 #supremecbd #ad."
United's loss kept them at eighth spot in the league table, level on points with Chelsea but behind the Blues on goal difference.

Ten Hag praises one Manchester United player in horror showing against Crystal Palace
Erik ten Hag had very little to praise after Palace thumped them 4-0 on Monday. However, with most of his starting defenders out to injuries, the Dutch tactician had to resort to a centre-back pairing of Casemiro and Jonny Evans.
Evans, who was himself recovering from an injury, had to start due to a late injury to Harry Maguire before the game. Praising Evans' commitment, the Dutch boss said (via United in Focus):
“Huge respect for Jonny that he stepped in [for Harry Maguire] but he wasn’t ready to go into the game. He only had two days’ training, so that is one example. But he played for 90 minutes and it was a real reward that he did this. But of course, he can’t play to the levels what he can normally do.”
Michael Olise opened the scoring on the night for Palace. Jean-Philippe Mateta made it 2-0 before half-time. Tyrick Mitchell added a third after the break, with Olise netting the fourth on the night.
