THE most Manchester United player on the pitch at Selhurst Park on Monday night was wearing a Crystal Palace shirt.
Michael Olise not only scored two goals in the 4-0 thrashing of Erik ten Hag's shambolic side. He caused a buzz of excitement around the stadium every time he touched the ball.
One passage of play in the first half summed up the one-sided match.
The France Under-21 international shrugged off Antony by the touchline, ghosted past Christian Eriksen with an audacious stepover before launching another attack. The cameo caused a standing ovation.
Olise has the kind of class and confidence to follow in the footsteps of Manchester United superstars like George Best and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Along with Eberechi Eze, he has formed a deadly duo behind striker Jean-Philippe Mateta which ran the Manchester United rearguard ragged (bottom inset).
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher said: "In Eze and Olise, Crystal Palace have got two players that would walk into Manchester United's team. Under Oliver Glasner, they have been brilliant."
