Gary Neville lauds Manchester United’s ‘best’ performance this season – but fans told to not get sucked in by Crystal Palace win
Manchester United fans have been warned to not get ahead of themselves despite their feelgood victory against Crystal Palace.
The Carabao Cup holders have progressed to the fourth round, easing to a 3-0 win over the Eagles at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
The performance had club legend Gary Neville purring, as he posted on social media: «The best United have played all season.»
Alejandro Garnacho and Casemiro scored before the half-hour mark, before Anthony Martial popped up with his first goal of the season in the 55th minute.
With Sofyan Amrabat making his first start and Raphael Varane and Mason Mount also included in the line-up after returning from injury, there are lots of reasons for United supporters to smile about.
It is now back-to-back victories for United following the 1-0 win over Burnley which put an end to three consecutive defeats in all competitions.
But talkSPORT host and ex-Chelsea defender Jason Cundy has told fans to not get sucked in by the result as they were playing against a heavily-rotated side that barely laid a glove on them.
Roy Hodgson made six changes for the match ahead of Saturday's return to the Theatre of Dreams to face United in the Premier League.
Speaking on The Sports Bar, Cundy said: «What a lovely team to play, Crystal Palace made half-a-dozen, seven changes, something like that.
»They're playing them Saturday, I think Roy Hodgson did the right thing. Is he going to beat Manchester United tonight and at the weekend? Probably not, actually.
