Manchester United's goal drought extended to more than five hours as they drew at Crystal Palace.
Louis van Gaal's team had plenty of possession but created little as they weathered an early storm after Palace's Yannick Bolasie hit the bar.
Wayne Rooney's first-half free-kick was saved but Palace had the better chances with Yohan Cabaye going closest.
It was United's third consecutive goalless draw in all competitions but they stay fourth in the Premier League.
Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes said this week that Van Gaal's team failed to excite him and lacked creativity.
And that was evident again at a rowdy Selhurst Park where they followed up stalemates against Manchester City and Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup with a lukewarm performance.
Rooney's free-kick was the only effort United had on target while Palace also threatened through Scott Dann's header and Dwight Gayle's drive, which was well saved by David De Gea.
The visitors have now not scored in 325 minutes and they rarely got in behind Palace, who ended a run of three defeats.
United did threaten on the few occasions when Martial moved inside, which also occurred when Marouane Fellaini was brought on in the second half, but questions will once again be asked of Van Gaal's team selection as they struggled in the final third.
Rooney started up front in his 350th Premier League game and was once again a peripheral figure, often picking up the ball facing his own goal.
He rarely looked like adding to his United tally and is still one behind Denis Law's 237 career goals.
From a positive point of view, though, Van Gaal's team still have the meanest defence in the league and did well to achieve a seventh clean sheet as they came under increasing pressure from the hosts.
