Manchester United's draw with Crystal Palace was disappointing to say the least. What's even more surprising is that there are 10 things to learn from that game...
1. David De Gea saves. There's no end to it. Thanks DDG.

2. Ashley Young returned to fitness just in time - Still making an impact. Can't wait to see him starting on the wings.
3. The wings clip off Anthony Martial Officiel, but the lad made two very good 'almost' assists. Just no good finishing.
4. Wayne Rooney's misses chances - his form is so poor that it's not wise to actually put those words here because we all know he needs to be benched.
5. Ander Herrera is sacred and should not be used as the scape goat for United's missed chances.
LVG hit low and that's disturbing.

6. Matteo Darmian had an off-day. It happens, but DDG was there to save the day.
7. Daley Blind was okay in his return, he may look like he's getting overrun, but he has 'the football brain' to get himself out of trouble.
It grows on you and you stop worrying too much. Also, great going forward.
8. Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin are great in defensive midfield. Bastian's forward movements were good, but...
9. We need finishers. Hungry, cold hearted finishers to kill off the game...

10. We have such a finisher - but he's on the wing - and who to blame? Van Gaal? The process?
10.1 A draw is not good enough, not with our possession, not with that team. A draw is not good enough.
10.2 So, to sum it all, there is nothing we've learned that we've not learned in the last 3 games!!! Nothing.
