Manchester United’s season reached a new low on Monday after being thrashed 4-0 by Crystal Palace in the Premier League, a result which heaped more pressure on a club in crisis. The scoreline could have been more emphatic had United’s opponent been more clinical, but the defeat was still United’s heaviest in a poor season. The 20-time league champion now sits eighth in the table – United has never finished below seventh in the Premier League era. The Reds have also now conceded 81 goals in all competitions this season, which Opta says is the club’s most in a single season since the 1976-77 campaign. “As Manchester United, we should perform better. The players who were available should do better,” United boss Erik ten Hag told reporters after a record 13th league loss of the season. “It’s a deserved defeat. The performance wasn’t what we expected.” It’s the latest dire chapter for a team which has struggled for consistency this season.
