MU suffered a devastating 0-4 defeat to Crystal Palace, leading to their elimination from the European Cup group.
Manchester United had to leave Selhurst Park with their faces bowed out after losing miserably 0-4 to Crystal Palace in the late match of round 36 of the Premier League.
Michael Olise, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell raced to “break the net” of goalkeeper André Onana to make the Red Devils “taste the bitter fruit.”
This defeat caused Coach Erik ten Hag’s team to be kicked out of the group to qualify for the European Cup next season.
After 35 matches played, Manchester United is ranked 8th with 54 points, 2 points behind 6th ranked team Newcastle. They are equal on points with Chelsea but are still sadly behind due to losing the difference.
If they finish the season in this position, Manchester United only has one door left to participate in the European Cup, which is to defeat Man City in the FA Cup final on May 25. However, this is definitely not an easy task at all for the Red Devils in the current situation.
With 4 losses in this match, Manchester United has conceded a total of 81 goals on all fronts this season. This is the highest number of goals conceded in history that this team has received since the 1976-77 season.
Manchester United has never been as bad as it is now, losing by 13 points in a season in the Premier League.
Even in all competitions, Manchester United lost 18 matches – the most in a season since the 1977-78 season.
Not stopping there, this is the first time in history that Manchester United lost 13 matches in a Premier League season.
This is also the first season that Manchester United lost to Crystal Palace in both matches in the same season. In the first leg, they also defeated the Red Devils 1-0 at Old Trafford.
The poor results of Coach Erik ten Hag and his team were partly shown clearly through what they “showed off” during their away trip to Selhurts Park.
Manchester United played poorly against their opponents and quickly conceded a goal in the 12th minute after Michael Olise’s bold breakthrough and easy goal.
By the 40th minute, Manchester United’s defense continued to be harmless in preventing Jean-Philippe Mateta from passing the ball and scoring to increase the score to 2-0 for Crystal Palace.
In the second half, the situation did not change as Manchester United continued to play poorly and had to concede two more goals due to defensive errors.
In the 58th minute, unmarked, Tyrick Mitchell comfortably cushioned the ball from close range, increasing the score to 3-0.
Just 8 minutes later, after Casemiro lost the ball, Olise had the opportunity to shoot a strong shot, forcing Onana into the net to pick up the ball for the fourth time, sealing a 4-0 victory for Crystal Palace.
This result caused Manchester United to receive the biggest defeat against Crystal Palace in Premier League history.
Coach Erik ten Hag and his team’s journey to find a ticket will certainly be even more difficult when in the next round they have to face Arsenal, who are determined to win every victory to win the Premier League./.
