At home at Old Trafford, Man United disappointed when they lost 0-1 to Crystal Palace. In this match, the "red devils" dominated the visiting team Crystal Palace when at times they held the ball up to 70%. However, Man United lacked sharp attacks to find a way into Crystal Palace's goal.
The attack did not play well, Man United's defense was not good enough and the home team had to accept the bitter defeat.
In the 25th minute, from a free kick from the right wing by Eberechi Eze, striker Rasmus Hojlund (Man United) missed the ball. The ball crossed the goal and Joachim Andersen was there at the right time to shoot, scoring the opening goal of the match.
After conceding the goal, Man United kept the ball and continuously put pressure on Crystal Palace. However, the home team could not find an equalizer and accepted a 0-1 defeat.
With this defeat, Man United has only 9 points after 7 rounds and is temporarily ranked 10th on the rankings.
Sharing the same fate as Man United was neighbour Man City when they visited Wolves. In the 13th minute, Pedro Neto accelerated down the right wing and crossed inside. In an attempt to clear the ball, defender Ruben Dias scored an own goal.
Conceding an early goal, Man City continuously pressured their opponent.
However, the visitors were quite stuck in finding a way into the Wolves goal. And it was thanks to a set piece that Man City were able to find an equalizer. In the 58th minute, Julian Alvarez took a beautiful free kick, scoring the equalizer 1-1.

In the remaining minutes, Man City tried their best to attack but could not find the Wolves net again.
In the end, Man City lost 1-2 to Wolves. This was Man City's first defeat in the Premier League this season.
