LONDON, England -- This is descending into the worst season Manchester United have ever had in the Premier League. And Crystal Palace helped nudge them down that dismal path as they swiped aside Erik ten Hag's side with a completely dominant 4-0 win at Selhurst Park on Monday.
The hosts exploited their injury-hit opponents, pulled apart their new-look combinations and at times toyed with them like a cat playing with a piece of string. They comfortably defeated Ten Hag's beleaguered side thanks to a performance of wonderful attacking ruthlessness spearheaded by their brilliant trio upfront of Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze, and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
