In the early morning of May 7 (Hanoi time), MU lost 0-4 at Crystal Palace’s home field in round 36 of the Premier League.
The defeat caused MU to fall out of the European Cup group next season. The “Red Devils” are ranked 8th, a position that does not qualify for the Conference League.
Erik ten Hag and his team have 54 points, 2 points behind the 6th place team, Newcastle, and behind Chelsea due to a loss in difference. If they finish the season with this position, MU only has one door left to participate in the Europa League, which is to defeat Man City in the FA Cup final on May 25.
At Selhurts Park, MU did not have the services of captain Bruno Fernandes. In defense, Harry Maguire also retired. Coach Ten Hag can only rely on the central defenders including Jonny Evans, who has just returned from injury, and Casemiro.
