The Premier League officially apologized to Manchester United. They said that they knew that Manchester United's schedule was very intensive, but there was really no place for Manchester United to play Crystal Palace. They had to arrange the match against Crystal Palace between Manchester United and Manchester City and Arsenal.

It is true that there is no other time to arrange it. If Manchester United continues to keep the four events of the League Cup, FA Cup, Europa League, and Premier League going hand in hand, Manchester United will need to maintain a week of double matches in the second half of the season.
