He left United for Crystal Palace last summer and he was brilliant in this game. Henderson denied Alejandro Garnacho, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez early on - reacting quickly to readjust his feet to save from the latter two.

Palace grew into the game after making substitutions, while United’s changes took away their momentum, and the home side begun to create chances, with Eberechi Eze firing wide and Eddie Nketiah and Ismaila Sarr forcing a brilliant double save from Andre Onana.
