Another home defeat as Rashford nears exit
Any sense of optimism that had been building around Ruben Amorim's team was squashed by a workmanlike Crystal Palace who, remarkably, haven't conceded a goal against Manchester United in two years.

Overthinking, or perhaps a message to the transfer department? Danish international Patrick Dorgu has signed from Serie A's Lecce and uncertainty about Marcus Rashford's future may be coming to a head as he travels to Bodymoor Heath for a medical at Aston Villa. Complicated deal it may be, but will it free up funds for the club to bring in an attacker before Monday night's transfer deadline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
