Ten Hag slams ‘under-performing’ Man United

Defeat left Ten Hag’s men eighth and at risk of both their worst ever Premier League finish and missing out on European competition next season

Ten Hag slams ‘under-performing’ Man United

Erik Ten Hag

Erik ten Hag took responsibility for Manchester United’s miserable showing in a 0-4 thrashing by Crystal Palace on Monday, but said he is still the right man to turn the club’s fortunes around. 


Palace completed a first ever league double over United in style as Michael Olise scored twice, while Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell were also on target for the in-form Eagles. 


Defeat left Ten Hag’s men eighth and at risk of both their worst ever Premier League finish and missing out on European competition next season. 


The Dutchman’s future is in doubt with structural change ongoing at Old Trafford since British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe bought a minority stake and took sporting control of the club earlier this year. “It’s clear and it’s obvious this is under-performing,” said Ten Hag. “We didn’t act how we want to do it and this is by far not good enough.”

Ten Hag’s options were again limited by a mounting injury list. Captain Bruno Fernandes missed a club game through injury for the first time in his career, while England international duo Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire were also absent.

Worse could be to come for Ten Hag when title-chasing Arsenal visit Old Trafford at the weekend. United have never failed to finish in the top seven in the Premier League era and must do so or beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final to qualify for Europe.
