"Been kinda a** recently", "Bad day for him" - Manchester United fans unimpressed by star's performance despite 2-1 win against Crystal Palace

Manchester United fans are pointing fingers at new signing Bryan Mbeumo after their 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Some fans believe that the forward has not been at his best in recent weeks.

Jean-Philippe Mateta scored from the spot in the first half to give the FA Cup winners the lead, after he was asked to retake his penalty for a double touch in his first attempt. The home side managed to keep hold of the lead until the break.

However, the second half saw Ruben Amorim's side make a comeback, with Joshua Zirkzee scoring the equalizer from a tight angle. Mason Mount then made it 2-1 just after the hour mark, and they managed to keep the scoreline intact until the final whistle.

Despite the win, the fans were not happy with the performance of Mbeumo and many posted:

Joshua Zirkzee, whose inclusion was questioned by many fans ahead of kick-off, spoke to the media after scoring in the game and said (via Manchester Evening News):

"Great feeling, it’s always a good feeling, but most importantly, just got us back into the game, and this guy [Mount] scored a pretty good goal after. It was all about three points today, just very happy we got them."

"It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world and you have to perform so if you don’t score for a long time it can get to you but I’m surrounded by great players, great people and we help each other every day. So they made it quite easy for me and today is just a reward I think for patience, hard work, trying to be consistent and I’m just thankful to them."

Manchester United face West Ham United next, followed by Wolverhampton.

Mason Mount reacts to Manchester United's win over Crystal Palace

Mason Mount, who scored for Manchester United in the win over Crystal Palace, admitted that it has not been easy for the Red Devils this season. He added that they have shown character to get the comeback win and said:

"We’ve not found it easy away from home this season, obviously a very difficult result in the last game so we knew we needed to bounce back. That’s what we spoke about before the game, I thought we showed good character to come back after the 1-0 down first half so it was about reacting in the changing room. Second half, and I thought we did that really good."

"We came out and we were at it. I’m feeling good, the win obviously was massive but also for me to play the full game, I can’t remember, I haven’t done that in a while. I’ve been feeling really good recently, no problems, I’m enjoying my football and when you have days like this in front of fans like this it makes it all worth it."

Manchester United are now seventh in the Premier League table, and could jump to sixth if Aston Villa are beaten by Wolverhampton.
