LONDON.- He Manchester Unitedslowed down for more than a month, was beaten 4-0 on their visit to Crystal Palace this Monday on the 36th matchday of the Premier Leaguewhich further complicates their chances of qualifying for European tournaments.
The ‘Red Devils’ (54 points) have only won one game in their last seven in the league and it was against bottom team, relegated Sheffield United. This bad streak places them behind Newcastle (6th, 56 points) and Chelsea (7th, 54 points).
Manchester United still have to face Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton between now and the end of the season. In addition, they have the English Cup final on the horizon, on May 25 against Manchester City, in a match that is perhaps their best chance of aspiring to be in the Europa League next season.
In their match this Monday at Selhurst Park, in London, United had a performance to forget.
Without danger in attack in the absence of its captain Bruno Fernandes, it was also a catastrophe in defense, greatly diminished by injuries.
French youth international Michael Olise, who was born and raised in London, scored a double for Crystal Palace in this match (12, 66).
The other many were signed by the Frenchman Jean-Philippe Mateta (40) and by Tyrick Mitchell (58).
If Manchester United is having a bad streak, Crystal Palace’s (14th) is good, with four wins in the last five games.
Rain of criticism about Manchester United:
The golden years of the Reds have been forgotten for the moment by the majority of their fans, who have been requesting the sale of the team for some time. A few months ago, when the sale of part of the club was completed, the fans’ future hope grew, but it is evident that there is still a long way to go.
