Manchester United's circumstances worsen just when you thought they couldn't get much worse.

Erik ten Hag's team is quite likely to miss out on a European spot for the upcoming campaign after Crystal Palace destroyed United 4-0 on Monday. Unwanted records are also continuing to fall.

Although a win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final would ensure a position in the Europa League, the loss drops them to ninth in the Premier League and keeps them out of contention for Europe.

Ten Hag wasn't holding back either, even with ten first-team players sidelined due to injuries.

He declared, "It is evident and it is clear." This is not up to par.

"We didn't act how we want to do it and it's by far not good enough."

Even though Ten Hag still has a year left on his contract, there has been discussion over his future as United's manager for several months.

Man United considered as one of the most worst-coached team in the Premier League

They have won 10 points of the last 11 Premier League games, but during that run, they have lost 10 points due to late goals they let up against Fulham, Brentford, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Burnley.

Ten Hag claims that in his managing history, he has never faced an injury issue like the one he is currently facing. This season, Jonny Evans, 36, and Casemiro, 32, became the 14th different center-back duo to combine together.

However, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner, is under increasing pressure to explain Ten Hag's circumstances.

Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool defender, is not too sympathetic.

"This is one of the worst-coached teams in the Premier League, it's a fact," he said to Sky Sports. Ten Hag need both belief and performances.

"You have to make us believe there is something there. I would expect Man Utd’s under-23 team not to lose 4-0 like that. I have been coached by some of the top coaches and a lot of what I see here is just wrong."

"If they put on displays like tonight, they will miss out on Europe." Everton's former United defender Ashley Young said.
