GARY NEVILLE thinks that Manchester United made it too easy for Michael Olise to score his stunning equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.
The Red Devil’s saw their nine game winning streak come to an end at the hands of a spectacular free kick by Olise in the 91st minute.
The attacking midfielder struck the ball with immense venom into the top right hand corner to cancel out Bruno Fernandes’ first half goal.
But former United full-back Neville thinks that the away side could’ve done more to prevent the ball hitting the back of the net.
He took to social media to let his followers know what he would’ve done differently in the situation.
He wrote: “That wall was never big enough. Always going to shoot!

“Put the taker off!!! A massive wall with big players in makes it more difficult for a taker! That wall lacked presence and made it look inviting!”
The wall itself consisted of Casemiro, Fred and Alejandro Garnacho who have an average height of 5ft 10 inches, but the ball sailed straight over their heads and into David De Gea’s goal.
The equaliser snatched away Erik ten Hag’s chance to take his side up to second place in the Premier League.
It could’ve been worse for United if it wasn’t for a spectacular save from their goalkeeper in the first half and an incredible last ditch challenge from Aaron Wan-Bissaka in injury time.
