Zaha excellent, Clyne brilliant: Crystal Palace player ratings after Manchester United win

Vicente Guaita - 7

Did well to deny Edinson Cavani early on when off balance before tipping another effort from the teenager over the ball during the second half.

Nathaniel Clyne - 8

Has come into his own over the past few months and was impressive again today. Made several interceptions and got Palace up the pitch at every chance.

Joachim Andersen - 7

Won the physical battle against Edinson Cavani and pulled off some trademark long diagonal passes in his last outing of the season.

Joel Ward - 8

Got his head to a free-kick at the back post but couldn't steer it on target. Made a sublime recovery tackle to stop Mejbri from getting a chance at goal in the box early in the second half. Still performed well while out of position and helped Joachim Andersen keep a deserved clean sheet.

Tyrick Mitchell - 7

A tidy performance to see out the season from the 22-year-old who has gone from strength to strength in a Palace shirt this season.

Will Hughes - 6

Kept things ticking along in the base of midfield without getting too involved. Started off a good move at the beginning of the second half with a smart interception on the edge of the Palace box.

Conor Gallagher - 7

Upped his energy levels from previous games to harass and harry the United players when in possession. Put several good free-kicks into the United box that tested David de Gea.

Jeffrey Schlupp - 6

Had a sight at goal in the first half from wide that forced de Gea into a save and won a corner. Has finished the season strongly for Palace and put in another good shift today.

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi - 6

Won an early free-kick before a loose touch ended an attack not long after. Will be pleased to get his first start for the club and can build on it next season.

Odsonne Edouard - 5

Chased down some lost causes and almost stole himself into the box early in the second half but ran into traffic before being tackled. Drew the ire of Conor Gallagher in the second half after going along and losing the ball when a pass to the midfielder would have seen him through on goal.

Wilfried Zaha - 8

Had a sight on goal after 25 minutes but David de Gea was equal to it. Made no mistake with his next effort as he shifted the ball onto his right before firing past the Spaniard from inside the box to put Palace ahead on 38 minutes.

Substitutes

Cheikhou Kouyate (for Jesurun Rak-Sakyi 66') - 6

Eberechi Eze (for Odsonne Edouard 79') - N/A

James McArthur (for Will Hughes 82') - N/A
