Manchester United suffered their 13th defeat in the Premier League this season as they were destroyed 4-0 by Crystal Palace.

Erik ten Hag’s side once again performed below expected standards and were severely punished for their mistakes. Palace’s goals were scored by Michael Olise, who had a brace, along with Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell.

Man United had a better ball control rate (58%) but could not take advantage of that. They only made 2 shots on target out of 7 attempts. By comparison, the Eagles had a total of 18 shots, of which Andre Onana had an impact 10 times.

The Red Devils made 591 passes with a success rate of 84%. On the other hand, Palace made 430 passes with a passing accuracy of 81%. But that statistic doesn’t sаy anything. At Selhurst Park, most of Man United’s stars had poor performances, with Antony being the typical example of that bad performance.

 Antony had a poor performance.

His inclusion in the starting lineup itself has raised many eyebrows, considering how poorly he has played in the past few matches. Most spectators felt that Amad Diallo, who showed promise when given a chance from the bench, deserved better than the ineffective Antony in the pecking order. The goal against Burley was a rare bright spot for the former Ajax star at MU, but the recent performance further proved that Erik ten Hag was wrong in continuing to trust his longtime student.

Antony played so poorly that he was substituted in the 60th minute, making way for Sofyan Amrabat, a defensive midfielder. Antony completed a meager 13 out of 19 passes. The Brazilian player only had 27 touches of the ball. He couldn’t make a single important pass or cross. The only shot the 24-year-old took went wide of the goal and did not cause Dean Henderson any problems.

Antony made two dribbles but failed. He also tried to make two tackles but was unsuccessful. The winger only won 3 out of 7 duels on the ground and lost 1 aerial duel. He also lost the ball 8 times.

 Antony almost always plays poorly at MU

Before the summer, Man United must start planning for life without Antony. He simply did not contribute anything and was taking the position of a teammate who deserved to be on the field more. As for Ten Hag, it would be very surprising if in the next match he continues to place the Brazilian star in the starting lineup. This weekend the Red Devils will have a more or less good home match against Arsenal. The Gunners are in brilliant form at the top of the table, there will be romantic fans dreaming of a shоcking victory, but that scenario is unlikely to happen looking at the performance this morning.
