After a horrific accident against Crystal Palace, Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was left with blood streaming down his bandaged skull.

The 28-year-old centre-back attempted a header but collided with Edouard, collapsing to the ground near the end of the game.

Medics raced to the England player’s help and treated what appeared to be a severe gash above his eye.

As the medical team started to work, he was photographed with blood streaming from a deep cut on his brow.

Maguire eventually stood up, but not before a black bandage was placed around his head.

He’d play the whole 90 minutes and keep a clean sheet, Man Utd’s first in the Premier League at Old Trafford this season.

Ralf Rangnick’s first game in charge was won thanks to Fred’s second-half score.

And the German influence was already visible, as evidenced by several significant alterations.

While the squad sheet suggested he’d line up in a 4-2-3-1, he actually played in a 4-2-2-2.

Scott McTominay and striker Fred were entrusted with protecting the back four, providing the necessary protection for a rare clean sheet.

Rangnick is known for using inverted wingers, thus Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes were positioned in front of them as inverted wingers.

And up front, Marcus Rashford joined Cristiano Ronaldo to form a lethal attack tandem for the Red Devils.

United were visibly pressing high up the pitch, searching the ball down in groups, in addition to the formation shift and inverted wingers.

This is in sharp contrast to how they played during the most of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure, when the Norwegian preferred a more counter-attacking approach.
