Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount admits his side need a clear improvement after suffering their worst start to a Premier League season.<\/p>\n
Not since the 1989-90 campaign, when Sir Alex Ferguson was reportedly one game away from the sack, have United lost four of their first seven league fixtures.<\/p>\n
But Joachim Andersen\u2019s first-half goal for Palace inflicted the same fate on the current crop, which left the Old Trafford faithful booing at the end.<\/p>\n
Mount, who made his Premier League return after six weeks out with injury, says United must get better.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know we need to win these games and it\u2019s been a difficult start,\u201d the England international told the club\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\u201cAs soon as they got the goal, they defended really well, they got bodies behind the ball and made it difficult to create. We had a few chances but it wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know we need to go back and look at the areas that we need to improve on \u2013 and we need to improve because we want to win games, we want to win every competition we\u2019re in, we want to go right to the end. So it\u2019s a tough one to take.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a tough start with the injury and a frustrating one but I used that time to look at areas where I could improve and coming back in the team last game, it felt good.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you don\u2019t want to lose games and, especially at home with the fans, we want to perform for them and win games for them. And yeah, we need to improve. We need to go away and look at some areas that just weren\u2019t there.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there are games coming thick and fast now. Every three days we\u2019re playing in different competitions and this is a new start. The Champions League at home under the lights \u2013 it\u2019s an exciting one to play in and hopefully we can perform and win that game now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andersen\u2019s brilliant goal \u2013 a sweet first-time finish at the back post from an Eberechi Eze set-piece \u2013 proved enough for Palace to earn revenge for their Carabao Cup defeat at Old Trafford earlier in the week.<\/p>\n
And he enjoyed his match-winning moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat goal, for me personally, is something I\u2019ll remember,\u201d Andersen told the club\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something that I need to improve on. I need to score more goals because I\u2019m capable of scoring goals. I have the desire to score. I think I have a pretty good strike actually. I know I\u2019m capable of scoring goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a good cross from Ebs and I just felt that someone would get a touch and I just sensed where the ball would fall, like a good striker would do, and I hit it really well. Amazing goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
