'We have to bounce back' - De Ligt says Palace game 'really important now'

Manchester United defender Matthijs de Ligt says "it is really important to bounce back" from their defeat and flat performance against 10-man Everton when they travel to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.

United dominated possession and the shot count, but other than one outstanding save from Jordan Pickford, the Everton keeper was otherwise not tested.

"A really bad night for us, especially the way we played against 10 men," said De Ligt. "We conceded one goal, we didn't create a lot of chances.

"Overall, just a really bad performance.

"The next game, obviously, is really important now. We have to bounce back from this performance.

"We had some good performances over the last couple of weeks, and now we had a bad one.

"Now, it's for us to come back, to stay together and to make clear what has to be better.

"We lacked maybe the urgency to score the goals, to create the chances - and then you know against a team like Everton, who drop back and are really strong in the air, it's going to be quite difficult.

"That basically sums up the night."
