Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount admits his side need a clear improvement after suffering their worst start to a Premier League season. 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. But Joachim Andersen’s first-half goal for Palace inflicted the same fate on the current crop, which left the Old Trafford faithful booing at the end. Mount, who made his Premier League return after six weeks out with injury, says United must get better. “We know we need to win these games and it’s been a difficult start,” the England international told the club’s website. “As 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’t enough. “We know we need to go back and look at the areas that we need to improve on – and we need to improve because we want to win games, we want to win every competition we’re in, we want to go right to the end. So it’s a tough one to take. “It 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. “But you don’t 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’t there. “But there are games coming thick and fast now. Every three days we’re playing in different competitions and this is a new start. The Champions League at home under the lights – it’s an exciting one to play in and hopefully we can perform and win that game now.” Andersen’s brilliant goal – a sweet first-time finish at the back post from an Eberechi Eze set-piece – proved enough for Palace to earn revenge for their Carabao Cup defeat at Old Trafford earlier in the week. And he enjoyed his match-winning moment. “That goal, for me personally, is something I’ll remember,” Andersen told the club’s official website. “It’s something that I need to improve on. I need to score more goals because I’m capable of scoring goals. I have the desire to score. I think I have a pretty good strike actually. I know I’m capable of scoring goals. “It 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.

A pastor locked himself in a cage with three lions to demonstrate his ‘divine protection’ like the biblical story of Daniel. The religious leader even invited his congregation to the animal park to witness the stunt. According to local media, the pastor, whose identity is still unknown, wanted to prove that “nothing can happen to a man of God”. The clip shows the pastor, seen wearing a bright blue suit, stroking the growling lions in their enclosure in Nigeria. At one point, he even puts his arm in one lion’s mouth before looking confidently at the camera. It appears as though the Nigerian pastor was recreating the biblical story of Daniel, who was thrown into a lion’s den and came out unscathed thanks to the hand of God. After the footage went viral, Kenyan MP Ronald Karauri, 45, offered to pay for the pastor to be sent to the Maasai Mara National Reserve to try the stunt with wild lions. The MP said: “I volunteer to take him to the Maasai Mara please, all expenses paid. “We look for the lions and he can go walk with them.” One local commented: “I challenge him to do that at Maasai Mara!” Another said: “Those are not lions, they are lion cubs. Big difference.” Someone else wrote: “Oh Yeah! Lemme bring my dog and lock him up with it for one minute.” Another local suggested: “He went in just after they were fed.” Erik remarked: “Why are the growls added over the natural soundtrack?” Bill commented: “They should have taken him to the wild lions at the Kenyan park, those lions were given drugs.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
