The rivalry between Crystal Palace and Manchester United isn’t one of the biggest in English football, but games between these clubs are always exciting, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
Despite the considerable size difference between Man United and Crystal Palace, the latter has managed to snatch shocking wins against the Red Devils, earning them the status of one of United’s favorite opponents. Crystal Palace's underdog status adds a layer of intrigue and unpredictability to their encounters.
Despite their 37 losses in the 59 matches against Manchester United, Crystal Palace has shown remarkable resilience, managing to win 10, including their last Premier League encounter in 2023, where they emerged victorious with a 1-0 score at Old Trafford.
Their first meeting, a First Division game in 1969, holds a special place in the history of this rivalry. It ended in a 2-2 draw, and Crystal Palace also held the Red Devils to another draw in the return leg of the fixture. The Eagles then made history by beating Manchester United at Old Trafford 1-0 in their first encounter in the 70/71 season, a moment that will forever be etched in the memories of football fans.
Manchester United has been more dominant in the new Premier League era, which kickstarted in 1992. The Red Devils played 27 games against the Eagles without losing a game, winning 21 and drawing six. United won their first Premier League match 1-0 at Old Trafford in 1992.
Their most memorable fixture was in 2016 when they met in the FA Cup final. This was a high-stakes game, with both teams vying for the prestigious trophy. Crystal Palace scored the first goal of the game, while United pulled one back very late to force extra time. In a dramatic turn of events, Jesse Lingard scored the winning goal for Manchester United, helping the Red Devils secure their only trophy that season under manager Louis Van Gaal.
While Crystal Palace has only three domestic trophies, Manchester United is the most successful club in England, with 20 league titles, 21 Community Shield titles, six League Cups, 12 AFA Cups, and three UEFA Championship League titles.
