The premier league started last weekend, but Manchester Unitedbwere given an extra week of rest because of their involvement in Europa.
And upon their return, the Red Devils got off to a dreadful start as Wilfried Zaha scored a brace against his former club to hand Crystal Palace a 3-1 win at Old Trafford.

The Eagles have now won their first two games of a Premier League season for the first time and on their last two visits to United.
Andros Townsend sent in a Jeffrey Schlupp pass to open the scoring seven minutes into the game
