The hosts trailed 2-0 inside four minutes at Old Trafford but hit back to win.
Erik ten Hag enjoyed the way his team put a ‘horror start’ behind them on Saturday
Taiwo Awoniyi scored a decent opener on the break just 86 seconds after kick-off and Willy Boly added another in the fourth minute – the earliest United have ever trailed by two in a Premier League game. Asked if he views the comeback win more positively than negatively, the Dutchman said: “I think every team in the start have areas where they have to improve.“But also you see this team has big character, big personality, there is a very good spirit in this team, there is energy and they found a way to win so, for today, big compliment for the team.
Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman was in the Old Trafford directors’ box and Henderson waited outside the away dressing room to see former Forest team-mates after Saturday’s match.
