A Manchester United fan with the name @akfootballguy said:
So unlike other games we let them score in the first half and then come back. Luke Shaw was the only player one who seemed to find his footing in both halves. Saved easily 3-4 goals.
Bruno and Casemiro were on auto pilot mode but in the second half they were completely different. Bruno with 2 assists, Casemiro with good tackles, winning balls in important places.
Zirkzee with a first half to forget and a second half to remember. We need to see more of him like this. Mason Mount had a decent game bar his goal contribution, didn’t pop out much. Dalot with another subtle and good game.
@sacredsaintmj shared a hilarious post after the win.
We’ll take the win and move on to the next one

What a turnaround. Fernandes is always thinking, so smart with Palace still setting up. Even seemed to catch Mount off guard a little, but he adjusted + picked his spot between the fragmented wall. Top hit.
@Prezain_LJ enjoyed the victory and called it the biggest win for Manchester United this season. He said:
This is our biggest win of the season. After the defeat against Everton, I was very pessimistic about the game today. I never gave us a chance.
I’m glad we walked out with all 3 points. GGMU ❤️❤️❤️ West Ham 🔜

What a statement victory! ✅ Going down 1-0 and fighting back to secure all three points truly demonstrates a shift in mentality. This wasn’t just a win; it was a character test passed.
@Rudeboiifizzy enjoyed the win and praised the second half performance. He said:
Much much better in the 2nd half! It was looking peak after that first half showing but credit where it due they shown fight & togetherness & some intensity in the 2nd half! Good W table looking a lot better but we need to get our grip together if we want European football.
Manchester United will return to premier league action on Thursday against West Ham United while Crystal Palace will face Burnley on Wednesday.
