Ghana forward Jordan Ayew features as Crystal Palace lose to Man United in pre-season friendly

Ghana forward Jordan Ayew was in action for Crystal Palace in their 3-1 defeat to Manchester United in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old lasted for 76 minutes at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

After seeing a one-on-one saved by Palace keeper Jack Butland, Anthony Martial opened the scoring with a well-taken close-range volley. United doubled their lead shortly after half-time when Marcus Rashford tapped in to round off an easy-on-the-eye team goal.

Jadon Sancho raced onto a through-ball from Martial to make it 3-0 before the hour mark.

With the score at 3-0 in the 65th minute, Ten Hag made wholesale changes, bringing on Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Hannibal Mejbri, Alex Telles, Amad Diallo, Anthony Elanga, Ethan Laird, Charlie Savage, Zidane Iqbal and Will Fish.

Palace got a goal back when Joel Ward headed through David de Gea from a near-post corner before Fish was sent off late on for pulling down Victor Akinwale as the last man.

Ayew has been impressive for Palace so far in their pre-season friendlies as they continue preparation for the new season.

He netted in Crystal Palace’s 5-4 victory over Millwall.
