The current season for Manchester United lurched from bad to worse on Monday night as they were comprehensively beaten 4-0 by Crystal Palace. This result marks a new low for the Red Devils, who have now suffered the most Premier League defeats in a single season since the league’s inception in 1992.
Manchester United Demolished at Selhurst Park
Erik ten Hag’s men were thoroughly outclassed at Selhurst Park. First-half goals from Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta put the Eagles in control before Tyrick Mitchell added a third after the break. Olise then grabbed his second of the night to complete the humiliation for United.
This result piles further pressure on manager Erik ten Hag. Casemiro, a marquee summer signing, had a particularly poor performance, and United’s overall defending was woeful throughout the match.

A Season to Forget For Manchester United
With three games remaining, United have already lost 13 Premier League matches, their worst record in the post-Ferguson era. They have also conceded a staggering 81 goals, their worst defensive showing in almost 50 years. These statistics paint a bleak picture for a club with such a rich history.
Ten Hag’s Future in Doubt
United’s latest humbling is likely to increase speculation surrounding the future of manager Erik ten Hag. Reports suggest that the club is considering relieving him of his duties at the end of the season, with his underwhelming performances failing to meet expectations.
What Next for United?
United’s fixture list offers little respite. They face a crucial match against title-chasing Arsenal at Old Trafford next weekend, followed by clashes against Newcastle and Brighton. With a top-four finish looking increasingly unlikely, Manchester United will be desperate to end the season on a positive note.
