Crystal Palace Create a Huge wall for Manchester's

Manchester United stumble in Premier League race with draw at Crystal Palace

Manchester United were held to a third successive 0-0 draw in all competitions after they failed to break down Crystal Palace in a dour Premier League clash played in foggy conditions at Selhurst Park on Wednesday. 

The result left United second on 51 points from 27 games, 14 behind runaway leaders Manchester City ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday while Palace stayed 13th on 34 points.

"It's disappointing. We were just a little bit off. If you're not spot on you won't win games. Palace always make it hard for you," United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said after the match."

After goalless stalemates at Chelsea on Sunday and against Real Sociedad, which completed a 4-0 aggregate win over the Spanish side in the Europa League last Thursday, a weary-looking United lacked edge again.

"In the second half we never got going. "Sometimes it's human nature, sometimes you don't work at your best. Today we didn't. It's been a long season - I'm not blaming that because everyone has the same season. You're playing against a good team who make you play the way they want to," Solksjaer added.

Striker Edinson Cavani was a surprise starter after missing the last four games with a muscle injury and he spurned a gilt-edged chance in the 14th minute when he skied a close-range shot over the bar.

Nemanja Matic and Marcus Rashford also went close for United in the first half before a superb Joel Ward clearance denied Cavani a tap-in from three metres in the 44th minute.

Andros Townsend fired just wide for Palace on the hour and the home side then missed the game's best chance in the 90th minute as Dean Henderson kept out Patrick van Aanholt who was one-on-one with the United goalkeeper.

"That's a Man United goalkeeper, sometimes you have to keep concentrating. He's growing in that position. I thank him for one point and not zero," Solskjaer said, adding that David de Gea's absence was due to a personal matter.

Top 3 Laptops in 2021 in less than 50000 in 2021

 Tips to buy a Laptop - Top 3 Laptops in your budget in 2021 1. A smaller screen means better portability.  Most laptops come in screen sizes that range from 11 to 17 inches. The entire system is sized to fit the display. That means smaller notebooks are lighter and more compact, and larger ones are bulkier. If you don't move the laptop much, a 15-inch model is fine. But if you plan to use the laptop on your lap or carry it around, a model with a 13- or 14-inch screen, like the  Dell XPS 13 , may provide the best balance between screen space and portability. Children under 12 will find it easier to handle a model with an 11.6- or 12.5-inch display.  Get a 17-inch laptop only if it's going to stay on your desk. 2. Get a resolution of at least 1080p.  If you can afford one (and they are available even for under $400), get a laptop with at least a  1920 x 1080 screen resolution , which is sometimes referred to as 1080 or "full HD" resolution. That number of pi...
