Man Utd 14 Points Behind Man City After Disappointing Draw At Palace
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his Manchester United side need to find their "spark" again after they were held at Crystal Palace - a third goalless draw in a row for the visitors.
The Red Devils never really looked like scoring in a drab encounter at Selhurst Park, with their failure to win a blow to their already slim Premier League title hopes.
The result means Manchester United are 14 points behind leaders Manchester City, with the two sides meeting on Sunday.
Asked about his side's recent form, Solskjaer said: "Of course it's a concern.
"When you have three clean sheets in a row, that will help you win games - but we haven't produced the quality.
"We just have to find a spark again, the quality again and try to win the games."
The visitors dominated possession but struggled to create many meaningful chances, with Nemanja Matic going closest in the first half when he forced Vicente Guaita into a decent save.
Palace did not manage a shot on target until early in the second half when Jordan Ayew fired straight at keeper Dean Henderson after a good one-two with Christian Benteke.
However, the hosts almost pinched it right at the end when Patrick van Aanholt was put in on goal, but he was denied by Henderson.
The point for Crystal Palace moved them on to 34 points and 11 points clear of the relegation zone as Roy Hodgson's side edge closer to securing another season of Premier League football.
