MANCHESTER, England (AP) — A bad season just keeps on getting worse for Manchester United.
The 20-time English champion was routed 4-0 by Crystal Palace on Monday and faces the prospect of its lowest finish in the Premier League era, as well as a season without European soccer.
Champions League qualification was already beyond Erik ten Hag’s troubled team before its latest defeat. Now, sitting eighth in the standings, even the third-tier Conference League could end up out of reach.
On current form, United might need to beat Manchester City in this month’s FA Cup final to secure a place in the Europa League. On current form, there is little chance of that happening.
One of the world’s most storied clubs is in a mess and the humiliation at the hands of Palace was the latest evidence of that.
A record of 13 league defeats is the most United has suffered in a Premier League campaign. In all competitions that number rises to 18, including four losses in six games as United crashed out of the Champions League at the group stage.
