Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring while Casemiro and Anthony Martial also got on the scoresheet in what was a dominant performance at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Bruce, who made 417 appearances for the Red Devils between 1987 and 1996, was particularly impressed with three of Erik ten Hag\u2019s players after the match.<\/p>\n
Harry Maguire was handed a start and speaking about his performance, Bruce told Sky Sports: \u2018He\u2019s very, very decent. He made a really good interception in the first five minutes, which was Palace\u2019s only real effort in the first half.<\/p>\n
\u2018He did what Harry does. I\u2019ve seen Harry play so many times likes this where he has done enough, he\u2019s played well.<\/p>\n
\u2018You can see from the reaction of the supporters when he makes tackles. He is the one again. Fair play to him.\u2019<\/p>\n
Bruce also lauded Martial and added: \u2018[His goal was] a quality finish, with his wrong foot.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s had his critics over the years but he is a really talented footballer. To take that on your wrong side and stick it into the top corner is a great finish.\u2019<\/p>\n
Quizzed about United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, who was handed his full debut and was deployed as a left-back, Bruce said: \u2018He looks a real player.<\/p>\n
\u2018He questioned him at left-back and if he would fit in there comfortably. I think he played everywhere but left-back! You can see he\u2019s got a physical presence about him. That\u2019s going to be big for Manchester United by the look of it.\u2019<\/p>\n
