Manchester United’s dismal season reached a new low on Monday night as they suffered a crushing 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, condemning them to their worst defensive season in nearly half a century.
The Red Devils have now conceded a staggering 81 goals in all competitions, matching their worst record since 1976-77, Footballrover reports.
The defeat, which marked United’s 13th loss in the Premier League this season, saw them outclassed by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta scored in the first half, with Tyrick Mitchell and Olise adding two more goals in the second half to seal a humiliating loss for United.
This latest defeat has piled pressure on coach Erik ten Hag, with the Old Trafford club reportedly considering his sacking at the end of the season.
United’s underwhelming performances and results have left them eighth in the Premier League with just three matches remaining.
Their hopes of booking a spot in Europe are now a theatre of dreams.
The Red Devils face an uphill task in their next match as they welcome title contenders Arsenal to Old Trafford on May 12, followed by matches against Newcastle and Brighton.
Can they turn their season around, or will it be a case of further misery for the Manchester United faithful?
