PL: Manchester United 1 - 0 Crystal Palace
Manchester United made a winning start to life under interim boss Ralf Rangnick thanks to Fred's 77th-minute winner.
A more energetic United display looked like going unrewarded against a dogged Crystal Palace outfit until Fred struck first-time from Mason Greenwood's lay-off to send a superb 20-yard effort curling over Vicente Guaita and into the top corner.
It was only Fred's second goal of the season - and the first time since the middle of September that United have recorded back-to-back league wins.
Until the Brazilian's effort, Rangnick's side created numerous decent chances, without really looking as though they were going to score and Guaita would probably have saved an Alex Telles free-kick that skimmed the bar had it been on target.

This reaction from the Manchester United number one probably summed up the reaction from everyone associated with the club.

More reaction to come up over the next day. What did you think of the performance?
The new interim boss Rangnick added: "The first thirty minutes I was really impressed; high speed, high intensity and high tempo."
One Manchester United fan told us: "We have a good run of games coming up so hopefully we can start to climb the Premier League table."
This is the reaction from Crystal Palace.
Patrick Vieira pointed out that his Crystal Palace side weren't at their best in the 1-0 defeat. He will be hoping that they can bounce back quickly and carry on with some of their recent improved attacking form before they went to Old Trafford.
