The embarrassing loss to Cystal Palace now has Manchester United in a real spot of bother as they have now been jumped by Chelsea and find themselves out of European spots with just three matchdays remaining.

A brace from Michael Olise and goals from Jean Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell meant that Erik Ten Hag has now become the Manchester United to preside over these embarrassing records in just his second season in charge of the club.

The worst Manchester United Defence in nearly 50 years

United have conceded a total of 81 goals in 35 games this season and still have three more games to play this season. This is the first time since the 1976-77 season that Manchester United have conceded more than 80 goals in a single Premier League season. 

With three games remaining the record could only get worse as Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United fans will be hoping the season ends as soon as possible.  Up next for United is a visit from Arsenal in the Premier League and later this season, United will take on Manchester City in FA Cup final to salvage at least one piece of silverware from this disastrous season.
