Crystal Palace 4-0 Manchester United – score and goal updates as Olise double humiliates United
Manchester United has an opportunity to climb back to sixth place in the Premier League standings if they secure a victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park tonight. Over the past weekend, United found themselves slipping two spots in the ranking due to not playing any match. Meanwhile, Newcastle and Chelsea achieved significant victories, allowing them to surpass United, who now finds themselves in eighth place.
Historically, Manchester United has never finished lower than seventh in the Premier League era, underscoring the importance of a win in tonight’s game as they pursue qualification for next season’s Europa League.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, shared updates regarding the team’s lineup last Thursday. He mentioned that Bruno Fernandes might not play as his participation remains uncertain, and a decision about Scott McTominay will be made closer to game time. Additionally, there’s some positive news for United’s defense as Jonny Evans is expected to return to the lineup tonight. This update is particularly timely given that Harry Maguire has recently sustained an injury that will keep him sidelined for three weeks. Moreover, Marcus Rashford will also miss the trip to London, further limiting Ten Hag’s options for the match.
