Man Utd vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Stream, TV channel as Malacia STARTS huge pre-season friendly in Melbourne

SECOND HALF – Manchester United 1-0 Crystal Palace

We will be back underway any moment. Palace have made the United players wait as they emerge a few minutes late from the tunnel.

Van De Beek is going to get a chance in the second half. He’s on for Scott McTominay.

Maguire under fire

Aside from the football itself, United’s captain has received a pretty hostile reception in Melbourne with several, predominantly United fans, heavily booing the defender at every opportunity.

Maguire hasn’t seemed too phased, even coming close to a goal at one stage. I wonder how that would have gone down.

HALF TIME – Manchester United 1-0 Crystal Palace

45+4, Rashford drives the free-kick low and hard from distance, but Matthews is able to hold on to it.

It’s the Red Devils who lead at half time courtesy of a smart move finished by Martial. Palace have had a couple of moments, but have been on the back foot for the majority of the half.

United’s front three have been the danger men, whilst Malacia and Dalot have got forward brilliantly.

45+2, Ayew lets out a scream that could have been heard in Manchester. On the replays there looks to be very little in it.

45+1, Rashford slides Fernandes in behind but the flag goes up against him. The first offside of the day.
