Another three points for Carrick’s United, though this one was more grind than glow. We look at a flat first half, Palace’s early set‑piece goal and how United slowly wrestled control before Šeško’s header from a brilliant Bruno Fernandes cross sealed it. There’s plenty on the VAR penalty/red‑card debate, how much it changed the game, and why United’s rising “floor” might be the most important development of this run.

We also dig into Šeško’s recent run of decisive goals, the balance issues out wide with Dalot, Shaw and Cunha drifting, and whether the squad is starting to look a bit leggy with only one game a week. Plus: United up to third, the Champions League race shaping nicely, and a preview of a tricky trip to Newcastle.
