72. A cynical trip from Hughes sends Hojlund sprawling in the centre of the pitch.
It’s a clear yellow card although the midfielder points out it wouldn’t have happened if Eze had been awarded a free-kick seconds earlier.
70. Manchester United need a goal. Rasmus Hojlund needs a goal. Joshua Zirkzee needs a goal.
Both strikers are now on, taking over from Kobbie Mainoo and Noussair Mazraoui.
68. Rather than rallying since falling behind, United are suddenly looking shakey.
Palace smell blood, and Hughes has the chance to slip in Mateta for a second but overcooks his pass.
66. Bruno Fernandes was booked for dissent in the aftermath of that Crystal Palace goal.
I’ve no idea what he may have been complaining about, but he’s not alone among those inside Old Trafford.
64. Crystal Palace lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta!
It’s an instant impact from substitute Ebere Eze, who swings a delightful free-kick over for Maxence Lacroix to meet.
The defender’s thumping header crashes against the crossbar and with Andre Onana grounded, Mateta reacts quicker than Harry Maguire to follow up and bury into the empty net.
The travelling fans celebrate, and now sense another victory over Manchester United.
In a shocking turn of events, Lisandro Martinez suffered a sickening knee injury during the match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace. The defender’s injury forced the game to be halted as he received medical attention on the pitch.
The severity of Martinez’s injury is still unknown, but it was clear from the reaction of players and fans that it was a serious incident. The Argentine defender has been a key player for Manchester United this season, and his absence will surely be felt in the coming matches.
Fans and teammates alike are hoping for a speedy recovery for Martinez, and are sending their thoughts and prayers to him during this difficult time. Stay tuned for more updates on his condition as they become available.

Manchester United have signed Denmark defender Patrick Dorgu from Lecce on a five-and-a-half-year deal.
The deal for the 20-year-old is worth £25m (30m euros), with a potential £4.1m (5m euros) in add-ons.
Dorgu has made 57 appearances for Lecce since his senior debut at the start of last season, having joined the club at youth level in 2022.
“I am incredibly proud to be able to call myself a Manchester United player – this is a very special day for my whole family,” said Dorgu.
“I cannot wait to work with Ruben Amorim. His vision for this team and the future of the club is incredibly exciting. There is a clear plan set out for my development, and I feel that Manchester United is the perfect place to fulfil my potential and complete my huge ambitions.”
Talks over a loan move for United’s Dutch full-back Tyrell Malacia, 25, to join Portuguese club Benfica have broken down.
Meanwhile, Red Devils striker Marcus Rashford is scheduled to have a medical at Aston Villa before completing a loan move to the Midlands club.
Rashford has not featured for United since being dropped by head coach Ruben Amorim for the Manchester derby on 12 December.
Manchester United have made a big move in the transfer market, signing defender Patrick Dorgu from Italian club Lecce for a reported fee of £25m. The 22-year-old Nigerian international is seen as a promising talent and United fans will be hoping he can make an immediate impact in the team’s defense.
Dorgu is known for his solid defensive abilities and his composure on the ball, making him a valuable addition to United’s backline. With the Red Devils looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season, Dorgu’s signing is seen as a step in the right direction.
It remains to be seen how Dorgu will adapt to the Premier League, but with his potential and talent, he could prove to be a key player for United in the future. Fans will be eagerly anticipating his debut and hoping that he can help the team challenge for silverware in the coming season.

Kevin Danso has pulled out of a loan move to Wolverhampton Wanderers at the last moment and Tottenham Hotspur are now exploring a deal to sign the centre-back from Lens.
Agreements were in place for the 26-year-old to join Wolves and he was scheduled to undergo a medical on Sunday.
But Danso’s representatives informed the Molineux club on Saturday night that they would not be proceeding with the move amid interest from Spurs.
Danso, who played 10 times on loan at Southampton in 2019-20, has made 128 appearances for Lens over four seasons.
Tottenham have been keen for reinforcements in several areas amid an injury crisis that has seen a number of key first-team players sidelined.
In defence alone Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Radu Dragusin and Destiny Udogie have all missed multiple games.
The Athletic reported in the DealSheet Wolves’ priority in the winter window has been the recruitment of a new central defender following the exit of Maximilian Kilman to West Ham United in the summer and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury sustained by Yerson Mosquera that ended his season in September.
They have already completed the signing of centre-back Emmanuel Agbadou from Reims this month, with head coach Vitor Pereira targeting defensive reinforcements after the team’s switch to a back five, initially under his predecessor Gary O’Neil.
They will now have to switch attentions to other targets ahead of Monday’s deadline.

Kevin Danso has reportedly pulled out of a move to Wolves, leaving Tottenham Hotspur to explore a potential deal for Lens defender, Facundo Medina.
According to reports, Danso, who plays for Augsburg in the Bundesliga, has decided against a move to Wolves after failing to reach an agreement with the club. This has opened the door for Tottenham to make a move for Argentine defender, Facundo Medina.
Medina, 21, has been impressing in Ligue 1 with Lens and has caught the eye of several top clubs across Europe. Tottenham are now said to be exploring the possibility of signing the young defender as they look to strengthen their backline.
With Danso out of the picture, it looks like Tottenham could turn their attention to Medina in their pursuit of defensive reinforcements. It remains to be seen if a deal can be struck between the two clubs, but Spurs fans will be hopeful of securing a deal for the talented young defender.

As the day came to a close Thursday, it looked as though Juventus had secured (or were at least close to securing) the services of another central defender on a short-term loan deal in the form of RC Lens’ Kevin Danso.
Less than 24 hours later, it looks like the talks between Juventus and Lens are very much not proving to be as fruitful as they were the day before.
According to reports from Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto on Friday, Juventus’ chances of signing Danso look very much not as close to what they were when news broke of Cristiano Giuntoli being close to closing a deal for the 26-year-old Austrian on Thursday. Instead, talks reportedly continued between the two clubs without much of a final closing of the deal, with La Gazzetta dello Sport’s Giovanni Albanese saying an agreement wasn’t actually reached between Juve and Lens despite Danso’s desire to secure a move to Turin.
Because of a Danso deal not getting closed, Romano says Juventus “are focusing on different targets” in the center of defense.
Nessun accordo per Kevin Danso alla Juventus. Parti distanti.
Il club bianconero è al lavoro su altri profili per rinforzare la difesa. https://t.co/o58JlM5y9W
— Matteo Moretto (@MatteMoretto) January 31, 2025
When news broke that Juve had agreed to a deal for Danso, it was reported by multiple outlets that they had agreed to a short-term loan worth €2.5 million plus another €1.5 million in bonuses. As previously stated, Danso was pushing for the move, and Juve’s interest in him had stretched back at least a couple of weeks.
But, with hindsight, it appears things weren’t as close to being done as we thought.
With Pierre Kalulu suddenly out for at least a couple of weeks, it was easy to figure out that Giuntoli wanted to bring in another defender so that Federico Gatti and another short-term loan signing, Renato Veiga, weren’t the only two natural center backs heading into a busy month of February. Danso appeared to be that player and that he was going to arrive before Deadline Day on Monday.
So much for that, I guess. Time to figure something else out — which is a thought process that has crossed my mind regarding Juventus’ transfer activity way too much lately.
According to recent reports, Juventus’ rumored deal for Lens defender Kevin Danso appears to be a no-go. Despite initial interest from the Italian giants, it seems that negotiations have hit a roadblock and a deal is unlikely to be reached.
Danso, who has been impressive for Lens in Ligue 1 this season, was reportedly on Juventus’ radar as they looked to bolster their defensive options. However, it seems that Lens are unwilling to part ways with the talented defender, especially in the midst of a successful campaign.
While Juventus may have to look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements, Danso’s future at Lens looks secure for now. It remains to be seen if any other clubs will make a move for the 23-year-old in the upcoming transfer window. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

Former New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi gave a strong endorsement for Mike Vrabel being named the Patriots’ new head coach.
Bruschi and Vrabel were teammates from 2001-2008 and won three Super Bowls in that timeframe. The duo formed a sturdy linebacker group for the organization and helped set the tone for the defensive success in the 2000s.
“He’s the right man for the job … it’s been bad for the last two years with the New England Patriots organization,” Bruschi said on ESPN NFL Countdown, via Mike Reiss. “When they hired Jerod [Mayo], at the press conference, a big word that was used was ‘collaboration.’ Everybody’s input and all that stuff; well, I don’t know how much it is that any more. And I think that’s a good thing.
“Because Vrabel isn’t going to joke around, Vrabel is going to tighten the screws. In my opinion, there are some people in the front office that need to be told, ‘You don’t know what you’re doing and you need to take a step back.’”
Vrabel will reportedly be “the man” making the personnel decisions in New England, along with serving as the head coach. There’s hope that his arrival will be a much-needed wake-up call for a Patriots team coming off three straight losing seasons.
The first order of business is revamping the coaching staff before shifting the focus to the player roster.
Legendary defender, Ray Lewis, believes the New England Patriots made the right decision in hiring Mike Vrabel as their new head coach. Lewis, a former linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, praised Vrabel’s leadership skills and football knowledge, stating that he is the perfect fit for the Patriots organization. With Vrabel at the helm, Lewis believes the Patriots are poised for continued success in the NFL. #MikeVrabel #NewEnglandPatriots #RayLewis #NFL #LegendaryDefender
