Crystal Palace

We asked for your views on Monday's match between Crystal Palace and Manchester United.

Here are some of your answers:

Crystal Palace fans

Gary: Another great performance. The first half wasn't our best but we still put United on the backfoot. Second half was much better, and we were still going for a fifth at the end of the game. Our fitness levels are much improved. Mateta has become one of the best strikers in the Premier League. Glasner has improved him and everyone. I can't wait for next season. Top eight is possible.

Tony: Wow! That was one of the best performances I can ever remember seeing from a Palace team - and I was there when we thumped United 5-0 in 1972! OK, United were missing key players, but so were we. They still put out a strong line-up on paper. But Eze and Olise tore them apart, ably assisted by Mateta and Wharton. Dreamland!

Gavin: Another five-star performance. Defensively sound, well drilled and quick to turn defence into attack was a real pleasure to see. Hughes and Wharton were immense and enabled Olise, Eze and Mateta to flourish. Glasner has instilled incredible belief in the players and fans and there is a determination to achieve two more wins, which would be fantastic.

Linda: Commentators keep saying that the opposition are poor - but it is Palace's determination, team play and skill that are pulling apart the opposition. Well done, Glasner - you have inspired and this could just get so BIG!

Manchester United fans

Paul: Another new low for United. Embarrassing shambles of a performance. 4-0 flattered us. No desire, no ability, no care, no teamwork. Palace played the whole game in third gear and beat us easily. It could have been 8-0 if Palace had gone into fourth gear. It is hard to support the players at the moment and the manager must take some blame. We look a disorganised mess.

Jo: I actually don’t think they were any worse than they have been for much of the season. This has been a scenario waiting to happen. Every team we play have a myriad of chances to score and they have wasted their opportunities. The difference on Monday was Crystal Palace took theirs.

Gav: Chalk and cheese. A team giving everything for their manager, with exciting wide players - against a team who clearly have given up and a manager who is not prepared to try anything different. Same every week - conceding numerous chances but even more worrying now not making any! Arsenal and Manchester City will destroy us on that performance.

Andy: All I can say is well done Palace. I should have been 6-0. United are awful! The worst side I’ve ever seen. Erik ten Hag did inherit a broken side - but his signings have made them worse still. He has to go. The whole squad bar three players should go. Start again with the youth. It simply cannot get any worse. Something has to change.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner says he gave Michael Olise a pep talk in converting his chances to goals while in the shower, following the draw at Fulham in late April.

And it clearly worked, as the midfielder scored twice against Manchester United on Monday and ran rings around the crumbled United defence.

"We spoke after the Fulham game when he was under the shower," said Glasner. "He was a little bit disappointed because he had three or four shots and the shots were blocked or he hit straight at the keeper.

"I said, 'maybe try near post and maybe then the goalkeepers are surprised,' and in this situation he shot near post and scored."

Olise has scored nine goals so far this season and recorded four assists, whilst only starting 12 Premier League games due to injuries.

Another standout performer from the victory over Manchester United was January deadline day signing Adam Wharton.

The 20-year-old midfielder has taken to the top-flight with ease, following his move from Blackburn Rovers, and has been labelled a generational talent in recent weeks.

At half-time he was seen offering advice to another Palace scorer on the night, Jean-Philippe Mateta.

"Second half was an excellent performance," Glasner said of Wharton, who played a key role in the third goal for Tyrick Mitchell.

"It shows his mentality and character that a 20-year-old guy talks to Mateta, but also on the other side that Mateta is listening to him.

"This is the environment that I really like as a manager."

Crystal Palace captain Joachim Andersen to BBC Sport: "We had some pretty good results recently. I don't know if it's the best game we played but it's up there. The West Ham game was amazing.

"They had many injuries but it was a great performance and everyone played amazing.

"The coach had us set up perfectly. It's a good atmosphere in the dressing room now.

"I don't think we've conceded many chances with the gaffer. It was a clear win for us. It was a top, top performance.

"We could have scored five in the first half. It's a privilege to play in this team. If we keep everyone fit we can achieve something big. Our front three are on fire."

On whether their star forwards could leave: "I'll be praying the whole summer for them to stay, maybe send them a few messages."

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner to BBC Sport after the 4-0 win over Manchester United: "I think the first-half performance wasn't our top level. We gave them too many passes. It was an open game in the first half but we were efficient.

"We didn't give them any space in defence [after the break]. Second half was really good but first half we could do better. But the score was amazing.

"It was the fourth game in a row where the other team didn't have 10 shots. This is what we want to do to control the game with a compact defensive shape.

"We know when we get our players in dangerous areas they are able to score goals.

"We will always be very critical and look at what we can improve.

"Stay humble. Focus on the details. We struggled with defensive set-plays. They could have scored one or two. We always look at what we can improve."

On Jean-Philippe Mateta's form: "He can play better than he did today. He lost too many balls but he has his confidence in scoring. Maybe we have an advantage in our pace. It's nothing we taught him."

On if star players could leave: "It's the job of the club to keep all the players. I know they'll try everything possible. You never know how your squad will look when the next season starts. They're amazing players, this is an amazing group."

Crystal Palace dealt a chastening defeat Manchester United's way. Here are some key stats in the aftermath of the Eagles' 4-0 win.

• Crystal Palace have beaten Manchester United both home and away in the same Football League season for the first time in their history.

• Manchester United 13 losses in the Premier League this season is their most in a league campaign since 1989-90 (16), while their 18 defeats in all competitions this term is their most since 1977-78 (19).

• Manchester United have conceded 81 goals in all competitions this season, it’s their most in a single campaign since 1976-77 (also 81).

• Since the start of last season, only Nottingham Forest (5) have lost more Premier League away games by a 4+ goal margin than Manchester United (3).

• Only in December 1972 (5-0) have Crystal Palace ever recorded a league win over Manchester United by a bigger margin than their 4-0 victory under Oliver Glasner.

• In his last 13 Premier League starts for Crystal Palace, Michael Olise has been involved in 14 goals (9 goals, 5 assists), scoring in five of his last seven starts in the competition.

• Since Oliver Glasner’s first Premier League game in charge of Crystal Palace (24th February), only Cole Palmer (11) and Alexander Isak (10) have scored more goals in the competition than Jean-Philippe Mateta (9). Indeed, he’s now scored in each of his last six home league games (8 goals), after netting only five goals in his first 37 such games in the competition.

In Michael Olise, Crystal Palace may have their greatest player to represent the club in the Premier League.

The 22-year-old was the star of the show in the 4-0 thrashing of Manchester United to hand Palace their first ever league double over United.

Olise opened and ended the scoring at a rampant Selhurst Park as he left the field to a standing ovation from all corners.

It's clear to see why the France Under-21 international attracted interest from Chelsea last summer and is reportedly being watched ahead of the next transfer window.

His nine goals in 17 league appearances are superb stats for a player who is currently sat in 14th in the table.

Of course, Olise does not have the longevity of Wilfried Zaha but have his talents already surpassed that of his former team-mate?

Crystal Palace sealed a first league double over Manchester United with a rampant 4-0 win at Selhurst Park.

Michael Olise ran 20-yards under no challenge to eventually slot beyond Andre Onana to put Oliver Glasner's side in the lead after 13 minutes.

Jean-Philippe Mateta surged beyond Johnny Evans to finish emphatically for his sixth goal in a row on home turf.

Tyrick Mitchell tapped in from close range after a fine cross by Adam Wharton in the 58th minute and French youngster Olise capitalised on a Casemiro mistake to power a strike beyond a wanting Onana.

Here are the key facts and figures before Monday's game between Crystal Palace and Manchester United in the Premier League.

• Crystal Palace won 1-0 against Manchester United at Old Trafford earlier this campaign. They have never completed a league double over the Red Devils.

• Manchester United won eight of their first 11 away Premier League games against Crystal Palace (D3) but are winless in their past three (D2 L1).

• Crystal Palace have won both of their past two Premier League games at Selhurst Park - they last won three in a row at home in the competition in October 2022. The Eagles have won as many of their five home Premier League games under Oliver Glasner this season (W3 D1 L1) as their 12 such matches under Roy Hodgson beforehand in 2023-24 (W3 D3 L6).

• Manchester United have shipped 77 goals in 47 games all competitions this season - their most in a season since 1977-78 (80). Their current ratio of conceding (1.64 goals-per-game) is their worst since the 1962-63 campaign (1.75 per game).

• Jean-Phillippe Mateta has scored in each of his five home Premier League appearances under Oliver Glasner (seven goals), having only netted in five out of his first 37 home matches for Crystal Palace beforehand (five goals). The last player to score in his first six home appearances under one manager in the competition was Alan Shearer for Kevin Keegan in 1996-97 (first nine).

• In April, Bruno Fernandes created 31 chances in his six appearances in all competitions for Manchester United - seven more than any other Premier League player. He created nine chances in each of his past two Premier League appearances (against Sheffield United and Burnley) and became the only player on record to create nine or more chances in consecutive matches (2003-04 onwards).

Crystal Palace play Manchester United in the Premier League on Monday and the Eagles head into the match on a four-game unbeaten run.

Palace boss Oliver Glasner has spoken to the media and here are his main lines from his news conference:

• Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi are fit for the match. They have both trained with the team in the past two days.

• On Guehi's quality, Glasner said: "I saw it before, I saw him playing. I mentioned before I saw him working, his working attitude is outstanding. He has a lot of quality but also is very professional. We will support him as good as we can that he plays some good games for us and also for England in the Euros."

• On the futures of Guehi and Palace's best players: "I'm always optimistic as all these players have contracts with Crystal Palace. It's May and many situations can change. Nothing is 100% but he's under contract, he's a good player, he's our captain so I'm very positive and confident that he plays for Crystal Palace."

• Glasner said of Manchester United: "I expect a lot of quality. Erik ten Hag did a fantastic job at Ajax. Last year they [United] won a cup. Great manager, great team. They suffered from many injuries this season but they still have a lot of offensive quality. With respect, but we go for the win."

• On Palace's four-match unbeaten run, Glasner said: "We hope that we can keep this momentum. It is up to us how we work during the week. The players could relax for four days and yesterday we started preparing. They look ready, I could see how focused they are in training. We're four games unbeaten and the goal is staying unbeaten until the end of the season."

Crystal Palace midfielder Will Hughes has had his deal extended by one year after he triggered an appearance clause.

Hughes, 29, was due to be out of contract at the end of the season, but after featuring 31 times he has secured his Eagles future until 2025.

The central midfielder has enjoyed an extended run in the side, starting the past six games, as Palace have put together a four-match unbeaten run under Oliver Glasner.

He joined Palace from Watford in 2021 for a fee of £6m, although it was a deal that could rise to £10m with add-ons.

Palace have already secured their Premier League and host Manchester United on Monday (20:00 BST kick-off).

It may be odd to see pictures of a Premier League manager at an NBA basketball match and think that it means preparations are starting for the next season.

But for Crystal Palace and Oliver Glasner, that is exactly what it means.

The Eagles manager was seen courtside at the NBA play-off match between the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks, sitting next to chairman Steve Parish and co-owner Josh Harris.

Harris owns the 76ers with partner David Blitzer, who also owns a stake in Palace with their Harris and Blitzer entertainment business.

Before this season, Roy Hodgson was only confirmed as the manager on 3 July, meaning that planning of signings of players and his training plans started later in the summer.

However, with the Eagles safe and Glasner having a very particular way he wants his team to play and players he wants to sign, Palace can start putting things into place ahead of what could be an exciting season.

Following a week where talk of Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise's transfer valuations made headlines, it was fitting that Crystal Palace had another glimpse of what life after Eze could look like against Fulham.

Oliver Glasner has repeatedly knocked back any questions regarding the future of his squad, indicating that any discussions would certainly wait until after a week in which they played three matches.

Past summers have had repeated re-signings of veteran players in the squad, essentially on unofficial rolling contracts. However, thus far, only Jordan Ayew has officially been extended through to the 2024-25 season.

If potential first-team sales are one domino waiting to fall, the decision on the out-of-contract players will also dictate how much cover the club will need to sign and any wage budget savings.

While players like Will Hughes and Joel Ward are thought to have options within their deals, others have more uncertainty, but few seem to be on the proverbial chopping block, as once thought.

A reimagined Nathaniel Clyne, now playing as a wide centre-back, has also added merit to his cause where the more conventional wing back role may no longer have suited him.

Saturday's goalscorer Jeffrey Schlupp, much like Ayew, has long been earmarked as an ideal rotational player or substitute, only to be called upon as a starter more often than expected.

Especially now in an era of five substitutes, and with a manager more likely to use them, transitioning such players to backups can be viewed as strengthening the squad, even if other starters arrive nominally to 'replace' them.

Despite the challenging predicament of the club on Glasner's arrival, the squad's character wasn't under question. Senior players help set the tone on the training ground, and it seems ever more likely that core will remain intact as Palace turn their eye to the summer's plans.

Premier League clubs have voted in favour of adopting an anchoring economic model, which will be linked to the earnings of the bottom club (tv and prize money).

The proposed system would operate like a spending cap.

The next stage is final analysis and drafting of rules, which will potentially be put to clubs at an AGM in June.

The model will be presented to clubs and - should clubs vote in favour then - it will replace the Profit and Sustainability Rules currently in place, from the 2025-26 season onwards.

Any new element of the financial system would come in shadow next season, to fully replace PSR in 2025-26.

“We will obviously wait to see further details of these specific proposals, but we have always been clear that we would oppose any measure that would place a ‘hard’ cap on player wages," said the PFA

“There is an established process in place to ensure that proposals like this, which would directly impact our members, have to be properly consulted on.”

Aston Villa, Manchester City and Manchester United opposed the vote, with Chelsea abstaining.

We asked for your views on Saturday's match between Fulham and Crystal Palace.

Here are some of your answers:

Fulham fans

Mario: It was disappointing that yet again we allowed three points to slip away. Overall, some of the performances were poor but we can only hope that, as we move into the transfer market, we can improve the squad for next year's campaign.

Will: A draw was probably the fair result but it is always painful to concede in late fashion. Muniz back on the scoresheet, which is great. Hopefully we can get a big derby win next week.

Palace fans

Allen: We would have lost this game a couple of months ago. The desire to work for each other, and the manager, is now obvious. It is a 'never say die' attitude. Another high pressing first half meant that we dominated the show, and we could have gone in two or three goals up. Encouraging signs for next season. Wharton looks a steal.

Nigel: Palace failed to take advantage of Fulham’s messy start and then conceded a good goal. We looked tired from their three previous wins, but the substitution of Schlupp made up for it, with a great goal. A draw was the right result.

Tony: I think that with the chances they had, Palace should have been ahead at half-time. However, credit to Fulham who were the better team in the second half and scored a well-worked goal. Schlupp's rocket hit secured the draw, which I think Palace deserved. Overall, a draw was a fair result.

Sam: I will readily admit that, having seen such stellar performances from the lads recently, I was expecting a more comfortable game. The fact is, however, that a point should be taken with gratitude, no matter our form. I suspect that next season, we will need to take these with some satisfaction!
