Manchester United’s season hit a new low as they suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace, leaving manager Erik ten Hag deeply disappointed with the team’s performance.
The match saw Crystal Palace dominate from start to finish, with Michael Olise netting two goals to secure his team’s second-largest victory over Manchester United. Reflecting on the dismal performance, Ten Hag admitted that it was a low point in what has been a disappointing second season at the helm.
“We let each other down,” remarked Ten Hag, highlighting the defensive errors and lack of adherence to the game plan. Despite missing key players like Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire due to injury, Ten Hag emphasized the need for improvement and unity within the team.
Acknowledging the loyal support of the traveling fans, who braved the rainy conditions until the final whistle, Ten Hag stressed the importance of addressing the team’s shortcomings and regaining their competitive edge.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner celebrated his team’s third consecutive home victory and called upon the club’s owners to secure the futures of standout players like Olise and Eberechi Eze.
As Manchester United faces the challenge of rebuilding and regrouping after this devastating defeat, the focus shifts to rectifying their mistakes and finishing the season on a stronger note.
