4 Manchester United stars who have scored the maximum number of goals against Crystal Palace
The Super Sunday fixture between Manchester United and Crystal Palace has always been an action-packed English Premier League Football fixture.
This fixture has seen some of the epic showdowns across different time periods. And more importantly, it is the first game in charge of “The Professor” Ralf Rangnick, new Manchester United interim manager.
Now, let us discuss 4 Manchester United stars who have scored the maximum number of goals against Crystal Palace.
4. Juan Mata
One of the most gifted midfielders of his generation and a part of the golden generation of Spanish Players who won back to back Euro and World Cup. Mata started his career with being a part of Real Madrid B team Castilla.
However it was his time with Chelsea where he literally announced himself to the whole world. His 2012-13 season was astonishing. As he scored 19 goals and provided a staggering 35 assists.
He sits at number fourth position for United having scored 4 goals against Crystal Palace. With him being still at Manchester United, it would be great to see him play even for a few minutes.
3. Mark Hughes
He is yet another Manchester United legend who has scored a lot of goals for The Red Devils during his time at Old Trafford. A famous saying goes that the only way is down when one leaves Manchester United.
But few manage to be an exception to this saying and even fewer manage to return to Manchester United and have a successful second spell. He was one of those and has successfully managed to find the net on 4 occasions against Crystal Palace.
2. Romelu Lukaku
Where to start about this Belgian jewel. He is literally a great center-forward for both the club and national football. He is one of the most prolific strikers at the moment. His spell with The Red Devils was a fairly decent one
And especially against Crystal Palace, he stands tall at the 2 positions with a total of 4 goals. Although he has returned to the Premier League not with a Red Jersey But Blue instead.
A well worth return to the English Premier League as well as at the Stamford Bridge with Chelsea. He will be making his mark at his second spell at Chelsea because he has proven his worth across Europe.

1 . Denis Law
The greatest striker to ever put on a Manchester United jersey. He is lethal in front of goals as he stands at the 3 position in United’s all time goalscorers list.
He was rightfully called as “Denis the Menace” for his staggering goals. He is the only Scottish Player to ever win the Ballon d’or. He won the prestigious award with The Red Devils in 1964.
In this fixture against Crystal Palace he stands tall with a total of 4 goals but just mere goals are not enough to explain his legacy. There is a reason why he is the only player to have two statues of him at The Old Trafford, a true legend.
Thank You!
