Why Manchester United substitutes failed to have an impact vs Crystal Palace

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Erik ten Hag credited Crystal Palace coach Oliver Glasner with nullifying Manchester United in the second half of their goalless draw.

United created chances galore in a dominant first half, drawing four saves from Dean Henderson and hitting the woodwork twice, but their goal threat significantly subsided after the interval.

Ten Hag replaced Joshua Zirkzee with Marcus Rashford on the hour and sent on Manuel Ugarte and Rasmus Hojlund in the 76th minute but United failed to create any more clear-cut opportunities.

Palace had the best openings when Eberechi Eze side-footed wide and Andre Onana pulled off a stunning double save from Eddie Nketiah and Ismaila Sarr.
