Manchester United, slowed down for more than a month, was beaten 4-0 on their visit to Crystal Palace, this Monday on matchday 36 of the Premier League, which further complicates their chances of qualifying for European tournaments.
The ‘Red Devils’ (54 points) have only won one game in their last seven in the league and it was against bottom team, relegated Sheffield United. This bad streak places them behind Newcastle (6th, 56 points) and Chelsea (7th, 54 points).
Manchester United still have to face Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton between now and the end of the season. He also has the English Cup final on the horizon, on May 25 against Manchester City, in a match that is perhaps his best chance of aspiring to be in the Europa League next season.
In their match this Monday at Selhurst Park, in London, United had a performance to forget.
Without danger in attack in the absence of its captain Bruno Fernandes, it was also a catastrophe in defense, greatly diminished by injuries.
French youth international Michael Olise, who was born and raised in London, scored a double for Crystal Palace in this match (12, 66).
The other many were signed by the Frenchman Jean-Philippe Mateta (40) and by Tyrick Mitchell (58).
If Manchester United is having a bad streak, Crystal Palace’s (14th) is good, with four wins in the last five games.
