Manchester United suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat at their stadium against Crystal Palace in the 36th round of the Premier League. This loss has cost them a place in European competitions for the next season. They currently sit in 8th position, outside the Conference League qualification spots. With 54 points, they are 2 points behind 6th-placed Newcastle, and their goal difference puts them behind Chelsea.

 To secure European football, their only remaining chance is to win against Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 25th.

 Manchester United’s defensive vulnerabilities were evident as they were missing key players like Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire. Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise had a standout performance, showcasing his skills and catching the attention of Manchester United, who have reportedly targeted him for the upcoming summer transfer window.
