The Brazilian player put on one of the worst displays of his career, but he was not the sole contributor to the shocking defeat. Even in a season as dismal as this one, this match marked a new low for Manchester United. The team suffered their 13th Premier League loss, setting an unwanted club record. However, the performance was even more dreadful than the 4-0 scoreline suggests.

The entire pitch was in complete disarray, and it will be tough for many players to recover from such a humiliating experience. This includes Casemiro, who had his worst outing in a United jersey and possibly the most disappointing performance of his illustrious career. He allowed Michael Olise to bypass him for the opening goal and then committed a grave mistake near his own corner flag, gifting Palace another goal.

Diogo Dalot, who surprisingly received more votes than Erling Haaland for the Football Writers’ Player of the Year, was also woeful. He failed to block Tyrick Mitchell’s shot for the third goal. The entire United defense was in shambles, as was the midfield, which was easily penetrated when Jean-Philippe Mateta doubled Palace’s lead in the first half.

Without the injured Bruno Fernandes, United appeared completely lost, with Mason Mount unable to generate any meaningful impact in the absence of the captain. The only ones who left the stadium with any semblance of dignity were the supporters, who continued to chant until the end, despite the humiliation inflicted upon them by their own players.

Goalkeeper & DefenceAndre Onana (4/10):

Despite letting in four goals he was one of United’s better performers, limiting the damage.

Diogo Dalot (3/10):

Couldn’t cope with the livewire Olise and showed no leadership. His confidence was shot by the end of the game and he could barely string a pass together.

Casemiro (2/10):

It’s difficult to see how he can have a United career after this. He was frequently targetted and gave Palace what they were looking for, chances galore.

Jonny Evans (3/10):

The veteran never expected to play as much as he has and exposing him to a game like this almost felt like an unfair punishment.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (3/10):

He is really struggling at left-back and this was another humiliating occasion for him, made worse by the fact it was against his boyhood club.

Christian Eriksen (3/10):

Couldn’t cope with Palace’s intensity.

Kobbie Mainoo (4/10):

A night that could scar a player so young and relatively inexperienced. Far from the worst performer but looked lost. Bailed out by Onana when losing the ball in dangerous area.

Mason Mount (3/10):

Didn’t look anything like a £60m ($75m) signing or a Champions League winner. He looked clueless.

Antony (3/10):

Not the player you want to lead an inexperienced attack. Couldn’t get any joy down his flank and gave the ball away too often.

Rasmus Hojlund (4/10):

He created almost nothing, aside from being penalised for challenging Henderson for the goal. He frequently barged off the ball.

Alejandro Garnacho (4/10):

Kept trying and running when all hope was lost and looked exasperated at how dreadful his team-mates were.

Erik ten Hag Manchester United 2023-24GettySubs & ManagerSofyan Amrabat (4/10):

Brought on to try and stem the bleeding but couldn’t help much.

Amad Diallo (N/A):

Couldn’t help United in either half of the pitch.

Ethan Wheatley (N/A):

Felt unfair to give him his second appearance and expose him to a humiliation like this.

Erik ten Hag (3/10):

Was left with an injury-ravaged squad but it looks as if the players have given up on him. And it will be hard to shake the fact he has overseen the club’s worst number of defeats in the Premier League era.
