Palace got two goals from rumored United target Michael Olise in addition to markers from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell in a performance that left no doubt which side was better on the day.
Palace are in great form — unbeaten in five and winning four of those — as Oliver Glasner’s project has taken off in recent weeks and the 14th-place Eagles’ 43 points have them as close to fifth as the bottom three.
Manchester United have been hit hard by injuries all season long and were forced to again play Casemiro at center back, but this performance carried no hope of overcoming the absent quality.
Ten Hag’s team has 54 points, below seventh-place Chelsea on goal differential and two points behind Newcastle United. The Red Devils also have an FA Cup Final against Manchester City and that could end up being their best route to Europe, which is stunning for a side that finished third last season.
