"That’s [how it is for] a Man United goalkeeper sometimes, you have to keep your concentration and he’s growing into that position. It was a great save, I didn’t know if the player was off [side] or not, so I thank him [Dean] for one point and not zero."
"Disappointing. Just a little bit off and I think I said to you before the game when you’re off and not spot on you’re not going to win games. Palace are a side that always make it hard for you and they did again. In the first half we were too slow to start with. They had a bright start. We played well for a little spell, but couldn’t score the goal. In the second half we never got going. We made some changes and we had one or two decent opportunities, but not enough of course." *Speaking to Sky Sports
"It’s hard to explain. We have to be focused on the next game – you have, during the season, periods where you score lots of goals, you have some periods where you concede some goals. But you need to break that barrier in the next game, if it is possible. We have to be focused for the next one because everyone knows we have Manchester City to play. [It’s a] big game and big challenge for us and we want to get three points to see where we are.”
"I think we defended well as a team, all 11 players. But in attack we need to do better. Crystal Palace were very solid at the back. Their midfield dropped in a bit so it was very difficult to break through. We have to give credit to them, but we know what we have to do. We know these are games we have to win. We need to take some positives; we didn’t concede a goal, we get a point. We have to be focused for the next match.”
“You can’t dwell on it because the games are coming thick and fast. It’s the derby at the weekend and Ole will back the players, especially with this great away run we’re on. He’ll have a look at the injury situation and if Martial and De Gea are able to play, but we’ll need to be a lot better at the weekend.”
“We didn’t play well enough and it’s a similar story to the Chelsea game on Sunday. I don’t think United did well enough. We didn’t get the intricate passing around the box. Although Dan James promised something when he came on, it was Palace that should have won it. Van Aanholt had the best chance and they could have won it there.”
"I'm not sure what the fog was like but I doubt that will have changed the way we played. The passing was sloppy tonight and we gave the ball away too much. We just lacked that final pass to create a chance."

FT
It's ended 0-0 in the capital on a disappointing night for Ole's men. The Reds were the better side in the opening half, but struggled to create shooting opportunities in the second period. While the Reds looked the most likely to score, United could have gone home with nothing, and Henderson's brilliant save from van Aanholt's shot ensured we took a share of the spoils.

The attacker curls one from the edge of the box, but it whistles just over the crossbar. United certainly on top at the moment.
