Crystal Palace crush Weakened Manchester United by 4-0 to leave Eric ten Hag's future in doubt

Manchester United's woeful season continued with a crushing 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, at Selhurst Park on Monday leaving them at eighth in the Premier League and facing a real risk of missing out on European football next season.
Crystal Palace soared under Oliver Glasner, securing their first ever league double over Manchester United with a resounding 4-0 victory at Selhurst Park. Michael Olise, the star of the show, netted twice, while Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell added a goal each.
Manchester United's injury woes continued, forcing Ten Hag to field a makeshift defense with Casemiro out of position. Captain Fernandes also missed his first game ever due to injury. This loss marks a new club record of 13 defeats in a one Premier League season. United have also already faced the most shots in a single season. Conceding just three more goals would see them set a new record for most conceded in a single campaign. Currently, they are two points behind Newcastle United for the sixth .United have never come lower than seventh in the Premier League era but are staring at that possibility in the face with title-chasing Arsenal to come at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Manchester United's struggles continue under ten Hag, raising questions about his future. Despite the slump, ten Hag insists he's the one to lead the team back to glory. He said “We gave it our all, but it wasn't enough and frankly, our struggles have been a recurring issue. While I'll continue to fight and prepare the team to the best of my ability, the responsibility for these results ultimately falls on me. We have important games ahead, and I'm determined to find the solutions we need to turn things around. Let's be clear, this wasn't a single player's fault, but a team performance that fell short. We need to adapt better to changing situations and raise the bar. Everyone saw the problems in our defence today, and we have to learn from them and come back stronger.”
United’s lack of fight , failure to register atleast single shot on target in the first half have raised serious questions over the managers style of coaching. A controversial disallowed goal didn't help, and Palace's dominance sealed the deal. This disastrous result adds to United's woes and puts Ten Hag's job on the line. With a poor season reflected in their negative goal difference, the upcoming FA Cup final might be his last stand.
On the other hand Crystal Palace are on a roll! Unbeaten in their last five games, Glasner's tactics are clicking. They started slow but dominated the second half, creating more chances and securing a win with Mateta's clinical goal. And is on Mateta's on fire! Revitalized under Glasner, he bagged his ninth goal in just 11 games, easily outmuscling Evans to seal the victory.
