After United were <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-crystal-palace-casemiro-diogo-dalot/bltfb5c85f72d8b20e7" target="_self">walloped by Crystal Palace on Monday 4-0,</a> it was revealed that Richards' 41st-minute assist for Jean-Philippe Mateta was the 46th time an U.S. international had laid on a goal in Europe's 'big five' leagues this campaign. They now only trail Brazil and Argentina as non-European countries with the highest number of assists on the continent this campaign.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The U.S. have been balling in Europe this season, with Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic leading the pack. The AC Milan winger has accumulated nine assists across all competitions for the Rossoneri, while McKennie has notched 10 for the Bianconeri in Italy as well. The 22 assists recorded across all competitions from USMNT trio Sergino Dest, Malik Tillman and Ricardo Pepi at PSV aren't being taken into consideration for the stat.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After a slow start to life at Selhurst Park, Richards is thriving this season. He has been used as both a holding midfielder and as a central defender this campaign for Palace, managing at least one goal-contribution from each position.

DID YOU KNOW?

The U.S. defender and Palace are back in action against Wolves on Saturday as they look to end the season on a brilliant note. They have four wins in their last five matches, with incoming manager Oliver Glasner making a positive impact following the departure of Roy Hodgson.
