"Towards the end, United played more direct with Fellaini and Lukaku on, which put more stress on our backline. They were throwing balls into the box but we dealt with it well."
"I would say a very bad result. It's not a point, it's two points that we lost. The objective was in these eight matches until the end of December to recover positions, to get points, to short distances, to get close to the top four and in the end we lose two points, so later Chelsea play against Tottenham and we are not going to win points in relation to these two opponents."
"I believe so, I have to believe so. I always say that this is the period of the injuries. When they are not injured in the national team they come to the clubs and they are injured in the clubs and he played against Russia three days ago or two days ago and of course we need him and he played and he was probably the best player of the team. He was a brave guy, probably punishing himself, who knows, for how long he will be out, but a fantastic example."
"You cannot play with nine attacking players, we have to play with a certain balance but of course we played with four players in attack and we were dynamic to arrive in dangerous positions and we started really well, but again I think when you play to win matches you don't stop until you win and we were playing well but we gave them periods of time, periods during the first and the second half. We gave them periods to rest, to breathe, to feel that they were a little bit under control and that gives life to the opponents that come here to fight for a point." * Speaking to MUTV
"Today was a very disappointing result, we weren't creative at all. Crystal Palace had the best two chances of the match. Overall a poor performance by United."

The referee blows for full time. A frustrating afternoon for the Reds at Old Trafford. Both sides had numerous chances. In the second half, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku came closest, while at the other end, Andros Townsend missed a guilt-edged chance for Palace. United will be back in action on Tuesday night when we host Young Boys in the Champions League.
