Chris Smalling believes Manchester United's recovery from two goals down in Monday's 3-2 victory at Crystal Palace shows they are recovering the spirit of the Sir Alex Ferguson era.
Since the former United manager's retirement in 2013, the team have often appeared to lack many of the traits they consistently demonstrated during his reign. Their refusal to accept defeat while the Scot was in charge inspired some of their highest-profile wins.
They have gradually improved since Jose Mourinho's appointment in 2016, but while it remains to be seen whether the Portuguese can bring back the glory days they enjoyed under Ferguson, the response on Monday was perhaps the clearest indication of his ability to do so.
