United were battered 4-0<\/a> by Oliver Glasner’s men at Selhurst Park, in what was their 13th Premier League defeat of the season.<\/p>\nA brace from Michael Olise and goals in either half of proceedings from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell were enough to sink United and pile further misery on Erik ten Hag and his players.<\/p>\n
The result has left the Red Devils in eighth place in the top flight with three games left to play.<\/p>\n
At the moment, Europa Conference League qualification seems like the most likely outcome for United, who only have themselves to blame.<\/p>\n
Against the Eagles, the players were shambolic and very few of them – if any – turned up. Palace were first to everything and capitalised on United’s fragile mentality to exert their dominance and ultimately grab the win.<\/p>\n
After the final whistle, Eriksen spoke to BBC<\/em> and gave his verdict on the team’s display and the result.<\/p>\nThe Dane said, “A big disappointment. We just had an off-day and we weren’t in it.”<\/p>\n
“It is what it is. We can’t really change the injury things. We have to do what we can on the pitch to change it. Today it didn’t matter who we played. Everyone could have done better.”<\/p>\n
Eriksen added, “I don’t know what the conclusion is for how it went. We weren’t good enough.”<\/p>\n
“We tried to do what we could but we were not good enough. We’ll take the blame as players.”<\/p>\n
It doesn’t get easier for United. Up next is title challengers Arsenal this weekend and then Newcastle before facing Brighton on the final day of the season. The 20-time English champions then round off their campaign by making their way to Wembley to take on Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
