Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace

After Manchester United fans had to be patient on Thursday, the time has finally come on Sunday. The Red Devils welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford at 3pm for Ralf Rangnick’s debut on the touchline. The 63-year-old will become the third German coach at an English top team and is to manage Man United on an interim basis until the summer. Find out who we see in front in his eagerly awaited first game in the following Man United vs Crystal Palace tip.

Manchester are only seventh in the Premier League table after 14 matchdays with 21 points. The top trio of Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool are already more than ten points clear, but the fourth place they are aiming for in the Champions League is only three points away. Crystal Palace are placed in mid-table on 16 points, but should have their eyes on the relegation zone after two recent defeats.

Man United Form & Balance Check

After the 1:4 at relegation candidate Watford a few weeks ago, the Man United officials pulled the ripcord. Club icon Ole Gunnar Solksjaer had stayed on as coach for a long time, but in the end the results and the style of play were no longer sustainable. Previous co-coach Michael Carrick took over for the time being and led the team to two wins and a draw in three games against Villareal, Chelsea and Arsenal, yet the team’s potential rarely looked exhausted.

Ronaldo leads Man United to victory in front of Rangnick’s eyes

Even before the last two games against Chelsea and Arsenal, the signing of Ralf Rangnick had been leaked to the media. On Thursday against the Gunners, many had already expected him on the sidelines, but the still missing work permit probably prevented the debut. But even without Rangnick, the Red Devils were successful in Carrick’s last game as a Man United employee for the time being. A wild game ended 3-2 in favour of the hosts, Cristiano Ronaldo scoring his career goals number 800 and 801.

Man United facts & analysis
 – 7th place
 – Last win 3:2 against Arsenal
 – 2 wins and 1 draw from last 3 matches

Crystal Palace form & balance check

The visitors from London have the thankless task of spoiling Ralf Rangnick’s successful debut. Crystal Palace are an absolute midfield team this season, even after the coaching change from Roy Hodgson to Patrick Vieira. The Eagles recently lost two games in a row to Aston Villa and Leeds, but before that they went seven games unbeaten in a row. However, having won only two of those and drawn five, Crystal Palace continue to tread water.

Bitter defeat at Leeds

In the English week of matchday 14, Crystal Palace had to face Leeds United on Tuesday. The promoted team, which was so strong last year, is still looking for last year’s form this season, but is always difficult to play against, especially at home. The Eagles, who were inferior in all statistical categories, also felt the effects of this. The Londoners would certainly have been satisfied with a 0-0 draw, but in injury time Raphinha converted a handball penalty caused by Guehi to score the winner for Leeds.

 – 11th place
 – Last lost 0:1 at Leeds
 – 2 defeats in a row

Predicted line-up – last update on 3 December 2021


We can be curious to see what changes Rangnick makes in his first game at Man United and what system he starts with. Varane, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Matic, Cavani and Pogba have all been injured recently and are unlikely to be options on Sunday. In attack, Ronaldo, Fernandes, Rashford and Sancho could be the full squad. Crystal Palace could see the more defensive Milivojevic move into midfield for Schlupp compared to the Leeds game, with Olise and Benteke as attacking alternatives.
