Manchester United were emphatically beaten 4-0 by Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Monday night.
Goals from Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta gave the home side a 2-0 goal lead at half-time before Tyrick Mitchell and another from Olise after the break condemned United to another humiliating defeat in a season that has been full of them.
United's poor performance was caveated to a degree by the atrocious injury situation they faced heading into the clash at Selhurst Park, with both Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay unable to make the trip.
However, the injuries can not be used as the only excuse for what was a pitiful performance in which a makeshift defence was ran ragged and offered little protection by an underperforming midfield in front of them.
A defensive pairing of Jonny Evans and Casemiro were frequently exposed by the electric Palace attack, while Mason Mount and Christian Eriksen struggled to make a positive impact on rare starts for the pair in midfield.
The defeat means United have now lost 13 league matches so far this season, their most in a single campaign since the 1977/78 season in which they finished 10th in the top-flight and piles even more pressure on under fire boss Erik ten Hag.
Here is how we rated the United players in the defeat...
1. Andre Onana - 4
There was little he could do about Olise's goal but he should have done a lot better to stop Mateta's second at the near-post, as well as Olise's second. Photo: Manchester United via Getty Images
2. Diogo Dalot - 4
A threat going forward at times and made some important defensive contributions to the match. His positioning was poor though and he should have done much better for the third goal. Photo: Manchester United via Getty Images
3. Casemiro - 3
Pushed too high for the first two goals and was easily beaten on both occasions. Deserved some sympathy for the unacceptable lack of cover and his harshly disallowed goal, then lost it all for his role in the fourth. Photo: AFP via Getty Images
4. Jonny Evans - 4
He wasn't fit enough to start the game but Ten Hag had little choice. A few shaky moments but another who had little protection from the midfield. Photo: Getty Images
