Man United vs. Crystal Palace: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Michael Carrick's Manchester United maintained their momentum with a 2-1 victory over Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace on matchday 28 of the 2025-26 Premier League season.

Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Sesko both scored to complete the comeback following an early Crystal Palace goal from Maxence Lacroix, who proceeded to be sent off in the second half.

Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Man United and Crystal Palace.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 70

Crystal Palace wins: 13

Draws: 14

Manchester United wins: 43

Man United have, unsurprisingly, dominated this fixture throughout the years, leading the head-to-head record with 43 wins to Palace's 13, while there have also been 14 draws in their 70 fixtures in all competitions.

Two ex-Man United forwards are the joint-leading goalscorers in matches between the two sides, with Denis Law and Mark Hughes both registering six times against the London club.

Man United have also dominated the Premier League meetings, posting 21 wins to Palace's six, while there have also been seven draws in their 32 matches.

Palace managed to record their first-ever league double over the Red Devils during the 2023-24 campaign, though, winning 1-0 at Old Trafford and 4-0 at Selhurst Park.

However, their meeting in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign finished level; both teams had a host of chances to register, but it was the two goalkeepers, Dean Henderson and Andre Onana, who came out on top.

Henderson made a string of impressive saves against his former club at Selhurst Park, while Onana caught the eye with a double stop in the second period, as Man United recovered from their two losses to the Eagles in the league last term.

Palace were triumphant in the reverse game at Old Trafford, though, winning 2-0 courtesy of a brace from Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Palace have actually been victorious in four of their last nine league games with Man United, suffering only three defeats in the process.

Man United's last league success at Selhurst Park came in November 2025, when they came from behind to record a 2-1 victory thanks to goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount.

Man Utd also came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Old Trafford in March 2026, with goals from Fernandes and Sesko handing the Red Devils all three points.

The pair also locked horns in the FA Cup final back in May 2016, with the 20-time English champions recording a 2-1 victory after extra-time to secure the trophy at Wembley Stadium.
