Alexis Sanchez heavily criticised after Crystal Palace win

Manchester United salvaged a 3-2 win against Crystal Palace on Monday night.

Palace scored early through Andros Townsend, and doubled their lead just after half-time when Patrick van Aanholt raced through on goal to finish past David de Gea. However, goals from Chris Smalling, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic earned United three points after a difficult evening at Selhurst Park. Jose Mourinho's side were poor for large spells of the match, before rallying towards the end of the game. There were individual errors for both of Palace's goals and Paul Pogba was, once again, disappointing. However, the performance of Alexis Sanchez came in for the strongest criticism. The Chilean was involved in Lukaku's goal, but otherwise offered little. In the first-half alone, he lost the ball 19 times - 12 of those were misplaced passes. https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/970763818329616390 A past United number seven, Memphis Depay, once lost the ball 32 times in a match against Newcastle. When Sanchez joined United from Arsenal in January, he wanted to emulate United number sevens of the past, but not Memphis. No way. On Sky Sports at half-time, Jamie Carragher said Sanchez and Pogba were "like two kids in a schoolyard." https://twitter.com/utdxtra/status/970765649965350914 And elsewhere, Sanchez's performance was heavily criticised. If Matic had not have won the game in the final minute, there would have been a lot of focus on Sanchez's display over the coming days. https://twitter.com/RealRomfordPele/status/970764578836635650 https://twitter.com/RatedAubameyang/status/970766360975433728 https://twitter.com/hesham786/status/970764926372450304 https://twitter.com/SmnLlyd5/status/970763738814050304 https://twitter.com/jonbir90/status/970765567488540673 https://twitter.com/AlexShawESPN/status/970762644390105088 https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/970761167269482496
