Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey hailed the away support for their 0-0 draw at Manchester United.

Hennessey received a standing ovation from the Palace fans inside Old Trafford at the conclusion of the contest and put him in as a firm favourite for the man of the match award.

“It was a massive result, obviously results have not gone our way recently but a point at Old Trafford is fantastic and maybe we should have got the three but we are happy with what we have got.

“The whole back four today were great, the lads put their bodies on the line and that's what we needed so fantastic credit to all the side," said Hennessey as he spoke to Palace TV after the match.

The Wales international was pleased how the side came through a tough away day in a game which Palace had 13 shots, their most in an away Premier League game this season.

“Their style is getting the ball wide and putting it in the box and with someone like Lukaku who is so good in the air and then add to that (Marouane) Fellaini who gives them a different aspect, sort of route one football which makes it difficult for us but we coped with it very well today," Hennessey reflected as he looked back on a clean sheet for himself between the sticks.

“I just want as many clean sheets as possible and hopefully I can start on building on what I have got today and if we take our own chances we can take the extra two points."
