The loss has pushed United down to eighth place in the league table, with the possibility of dropping further pending other results.
Despite not being in action over the weekend, United slipped two places as Newcastle and Chelsea secured convincing wins to leapfrog them.
With aspirations to secure a place in next season's Europa League, every match becomes crucial for United.
However, their hopes were dashed as goals from Olise and Mateta sealed a comfortable victory for Crystal Palace.
United's injury woes compounded their misery, with key players like Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire sidelined. Manager Erik ten Hag faced a daunting task of fielding a depleted squad, with defensive options severely limited.
Despite the setback, United will need to regroup quickly as they aim to salvage their season and secure European qualification in the remaining fixtures.
