Erik ten Hag's side put in a promising display in the Carabao Cup earlier this week against Roy Hodgson's side, although Palace made significant changes to their side. Rashford was left on the bench for the midweek game in order to keep him fresh for Saturday's match with Palace.
But the attacker was wasteful in front of goal with fans venting their frustration on social media. However, United supporters weren't the only ones unimpressed with Rashford's display.
According to the Manchester Evening News, United's staff were 'despairing at at Rashford’s use of the ball'. Ten Hag was even spotted pulling Rashford to one side before half-time to try and get the forward firing.
But the pep talk failed to work as Rashford's woes in front of goal continued. Rashford was shifted out to the right wing after Alejandro Garnacho was brought on midway through the second half with United chasing an equaliser.
Ten Hag saw enough from the England international on the 76th minute though as he was brought off along with Mason Mount for Anthony Martial and Christian Eriksen. But they failed to make a difference either as United suffered another demoralising defeat.
