SPORTS – Manchester United were humiliated in the Premier League table as they were hammered 4-0 by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
United dropped two places in the table over the weekend despite not being in action. Newcastle and Chelsea both recorded emphatic wins to leapfrog United, meaning Ten Hag’s side currently sit in eighth position.
Never in the Premier League era have United finished lower than seventh, and so a win tonight was key in their aim to secure a place in the Europa League next season.
Ten Hag was without Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominary. Jonny Evans returned after it was revealed Harry Maguire had picked up a knock and will be out for three weeks.
However it was a disastrous night as the threadbare side were no match for a rampant home team as their European hopes took another hit. Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta put Palace 2-0 up at half-time, before goals from Tyrick Mitchell and a thunderbolt from Olise added further misery on manager Erik ten Hag.
It was another terrible performance which sees United remain in eighth place in the Premier League, and in danger of missing out on European qualification.
