Ahead of the away game against Crystal Palace, United were overtaken by Chelsea with a game in hand, and the Red Devils want to return to seventh, and they must pick up points in this round, and in order to qualify for next season's Europa League, United naturally want to take all three points.
In this game, the absence of the core of the midfield B Fei left Manchester United's attack without a backbone, and Mount continued to sleepwalk in place of the starter, plus the defense was useless, and the away team suffered a tragedy.
In the 12th minute, Olise burst into the box with the ball and then fired a low shot home to give Palace a 1-0 lead.
In the 27th minute, a Manchester United corner kick opportunity, Casemiro's header was scored by Hojlen, and the referee signaled that goalkeeper Dean Henderson had knocked down first, indicating that the goal was invalid.
In the 40th minute, Crystal Palace made a steal in midfield, Mateta burst into the box after passing Jonny Evans, and fired a final shot into the net to help Crystal Palace extend the score 2-0.
According to statistics, when Manchester United has a 64% possession rate, none of the 4 shots on goal are on target, and Crystal Palace's side is passive, 5 shots are on target 3 times, and 2 goals are scored, which is more efficient.
In the second half, the Manchester United backline continued to make mistakes to give big gifts, and manager Ten Hag looked like ashes.
In the 58th minute, Diogo Dalot made a clearance error, and Mitchell followed up to push the goal, and Crystal Palace scored 3-0.
In the 66th minute, Casemiro was tackled with the ball, Muñoz passed diagonally to the penalty area, and Olise followed up with a pocket shot to help Crystal Palace completely break 4-0. In stoppage time, Casemiro made another mistake and was tackled and Edward's shot hit the post and bounced.
In the end, Manchester United suffered a 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace, the team's biggest defeat so far this season, and suffered a season double for Crystal Palace. So far, United have conceded 81 goals in all competitions this season, the most in a single season in nearly 47 years.
After the loss, Manchester United still has 54 points, and the goal difference has become minus 3, missing out on Chelsea, falling to eighth, and two points behind Newcastle in sixth.
According to the schedule, Manchester United will return to their home stadium to face leaders Arsenal in the next round, and they may continue to suffer a big defeat.
