Ruben: We had more intensity in second half

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim says his side played with more intensity in the second half, one of several crucial factors to securing a come-from-behind win away to Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.

Ruben’s Reds trailed to Jean-Philippe Mateta’s first-half penalty, but earned all three points after Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount successfully converted from two smart second-half free-kicks by captain Bruno Fernandes.

Those goals ensured United were the first team to win at Selhurst Park in the Premier League since February, on a positive afternoon that also saw Lisandro Martinez make his long-awaited comeback from a knee injury that has sidelined him since last season.
