In a surprising turn of events, Crystal Palace handed Manchester United their heaviest defeat of the season with a dominating 4-0 victory. Michael Olise was the star of the show, scoring two goals for Palace, while Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell also found the net. Odsonne Edouard came close to adding a fifth goal for Palace, hitting the post in the dying moments of the match.
The heavy defeat has put Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag under immense pressure, with questions being raised about his future at the club. Despite missing key players like Bruno Fernandes due to injury, United fielded a makeshift team that struggled to compete against a determined Palace side.
Ten Hag, however, remains adamant that he is the right man to lead United forward, despite facing criticism from fans and pundits alike. The team currently sits in eighth place in the league, with just three games left to salvage their hopes of qualifying for European competition.
Christian Eriksen, who has been a recent addition to the United squad, took responsibility for the team’s lackluster performance, admitting that they fell below expectations. The team is currently undergoing a period of transition, with technical appointments and behind-the-scenes work being done to improve their fortunes.
As speculation grows about ten Hag’s future, fans have been invited to voice their opinions on whether Manchester United should stick with the current manager or seek a new direction. The coming weeks will be crucial for United as they look to salvage their season and secure their place among Europe’s elite clubs.
