And it now means that Erik Ten Hag could potentially guide United to their first trophy since 2017 in less than a season in charge.

However, the Dutchman will be determined for his side to get back on track in the league after they suffered a damming 3-2 defeat to high-flying Arsenal last time out.

But Michael Olise’s stunning stoppage time free-kick proved that Palace are willing to fight until the bitter end.
