Man Utd’s best and worst players in bleak Crystal Palace defeat
Man Utd delivered an awful display in 4-0 thrashing at Crystal Palace
Few players impressed in another damaging night for Erik ten Hag
Casemiro the chief offender with horrendous performance in central defence
Manchester United racked up their 13th Premier League defeat of the season as they were thrashed by Crystal Palace on Monday night.
An injury-ravaged squad had little answer to the home side’s dangerous attack as Michael Olise bagged an impressive double alongside efforts from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell.
The result leaves United down in eighth with a negative goal difference, with manager Erik ten Hag not knowing where to look after arguably the worst result of his reign at Old Trafford so far.
So, did anyone impress at Selhurst Park? Here are Man Utd’s best and worst performers from the 4-0 loss, courtesy of 90min’s player ratings.
Man Utd’s best players vs Crystal Palace
Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund – 5/10
Er, well, this is a bit awkward. Truth be told, there wasn’t really a ‘best player’ for United on Monday night – just players who were less culpable than others. That’s the case for the quartet above.
Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund were all caught up in the storm but were the least damaging of United’s troops on the night.
Mainoo, Garnacho and Hojlund have been bright sparks in a difficult campaign while Mount has only just shaken off the injury problems that have plagued his first season at Old Trafford. They weren’t to blame for the hefty loss but undeniably have to learn from such a chastening experience.
