Erik ten Hag said Manchester United’s humiliation at Crystal Palace marked a new low in their campaign as he accused his players of failing to follow his “script” or stick to his “rules”.
There have been an abundance of egregious moments defensively from Manchester United this season, but no goal better encapsulates their abomination of a Premier League campaign than the first of the four goals they conceded against Crystal Palace.
For Manchester United, a crumbling team led by a sinking manager, this was a night that provided so many snapshots of chaos that, by the end, it was hard to keep track of it all.
Man United suffered a Premier League-era record 13th defeat of the season at Crystal Palace and Selhurst Park could have effectively spelt the end for another manager.
