Following Manchester United's sublime second goal against Crystal Palace in the English Premier League on Saturday, February 4, some fans have applauded manager Erik Ten Haag for his impact on the team.

The Red Devils stringed 17 consecutive passes together before the in-form Marcus Rashford placed the ball at the back of the net to give the home side a two-goal buffer at Old Trafford.

Portuguese international Bruno Fernandes gave Manchester United the lead from 12 yards early in the 6th minute before Rashford added the second in minute 62.

Ghanaian international Jeffrey Schlupp pulled a goal back for the Eagles in the last quarter of the game, but it wasn't as Ten Haag's men picked the maximum three points to move three points behind city rivals Manchester City.

After the game, fans took to social media to laud the former Ajax manager for transforming his side into a sleek passing team despite being at the helm for only a few months.
