""They give confidence, but Joshua has also improved a lot in how he holds the ball. "That should give him a lot of confidence. He influences the game and that's important to our game. He needs to maintain that level in training. "We have more players in the squad who can score. I'm really happy with them. Joshua hasn't had many minutes and Mason works really hard.""
""The pace and intensity was better in the second half. I could see Palace were getting tired at the end of the first half, and knew they would suffer if we scored. "We went on to control the game well away from our goal and in the opposition half. We controlled the game well, but just have to be careful about what we did in the first half.""
Manchester United recovered from a first-half Jean-Philippe Mateta penalty to win 2-1 at Selhurst Park, with Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount scoring in the second half. Zirkzee's strike ended a near-year goal drought since December 1, 2024, and his improved hold-up play provided influence beyond the goal. The win was United's first in London in seven attempts and one of only two occasions under Amorim where the side overturned a 1-0 half-time deficit in the Premier League. Improved second-half intensity and control exploited a tiring Crystal Palace, lifting United back into the top six. Squad depth and training consistency remain priorities.
