After losing 4-0 to Crystal Palace on 7 May, Manchester United set the worst set of stats in the history of the Premier League.
Including the defeat to Crystal Palace in the round of 36, United have lost 13 games in a season for the first time. That number is likely to rise as Erik ten Hag's side have three games to play, including a showdown with title contenders Arsenal.
United also conceded 81 goals for the first time, their worst result since 1976/77 (again 81). With the current situation and three games to come, Ten Hag's side are almost certain to break the 53-year record.
The 4-0 was one of the two worst defeats against Crystal Palace in United's history. Prior to that, the Red Devils had lost 5-0 to Crystal Palace in 1972/73. From the 1990/91 season until the last game, United have never conceded more than three goals against this opponent. Casemiro was denied eight times in 90 minutes at Selhurst, his worst performance in the Premier League this season.
The crisis at the back and the injury of Bruno Fernandes were the reasons for the defeat of the 'Red Devils'. Jonny Evans hasn't been able to play as a regular since his injury, while Casemiro has made a lot of mistakes when he was forced into a left centre-back position.
In attack, United sent the ball into the home goal on two occasions, but both were cancelled due to mistakes by Hojlund and Casemiro. In Bruno's absence, Mason Mount didn't make an impression worth mentioning.
Antony was a player that manager Ten Hag trusted so much, but was substituted in the 60th minute of the game. In next season, United may need to bring in a new right-winger to replace him.
Manchester United's performances this season have been marred by a succession of injuries. With their current strength and form, it will be difficult for the 'Red Devils' to make it difficult for Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
It is worth mentioning that in this 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, two Manchester United attacking players quarreled loudly when they did not work well together.
In the 56th minute, Anthony received the ball in midfield. On the left wing, Garnacho ran and raised his hand several times to ask for a pass. However, Anthony's pass didn't reach his team-mate.
Despite his misguided passes, Anthony showed a stern attitude and seemed to be at fault with his team-mate. Garnacho and Hojlund also did not hesitate to turn back and criticize the Brazilian.
Anthony was very poor on the pitch at Selhurst Park. Against the Crystal Palace defence, the €100 million player's performance was too bleak. 68% passing accuracy, 1 shots on goal, 0 successful dribbles, 0 successful tackles, 0 chances created. It was very disappointing that manager Erik ten Hag had to take the beloved disciple off in the 60th minute.
While Antony was underperforming, Michael Olisse, a name targeted by Sir Jim Ratcliffe as United's right wing for next season, shone against Andre Onana, scoring two goals to help Crystal Palace achieve the strongest FA Cup win against Manchester United in FA Cup history. The defeat left United eighth in the table and at risk of missing out on all European competitions next season.
