Paul Merson sends blunt Manchester United message as worrying Crystal Palace predictions made

Manchester United head to in-form Crystal Palace on Monday in the Premier League as they look to extend their unbeaten run in the English top-flight.

Erik ten Hag's side travel to Selhurst Park looking to make it five league matches without a defeat, with their last coming against Chelsea at the beginning of April.

United are looking to keep their European hopes alive going into their final three matches. A win would see them leapfrog Chelsea and Newcastle United into sixth and to within three points of Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League spot.

They come up against a stern Palace outfit, who are in good form under Oliver Glasner. The Austrian's side are in good form in their last four outings, picking up wins over Liverpool, West Ham United and the Magpies, while earning a good point at city rivals, Fulham.

Here's what the pundits have predicted.

He told SportsKeeda: "If Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise are fully fit, Crystal Palace will beat Mancheser United and anyone who has watched the Red Devils in recent weeks will agree with me.

"Manchester United are a massive football club, but not a massive football team anymore. Their team is not even remotely close to being considered good enough considering the size of the club. I'd be more shocked if Manchester United won this game - that's where it's got to at the moment.

"There have been reports that Marcus Rashford could be offloaded this summer. I like him but blows hot and cold far too often for teams to pay silly money for him, so I cant see him getting a transfer."
