Paul Scholes tears into Manchester United and Erik ten Hag after Crystal Palace humbling

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Paul Scholes pulled no punches with his assessment of Manchester United's 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace - insisting there are several players who do not deserve to be at the club.

United were well-beaten at Selhurst Park on Monday evening as Erik ten Hag's near two-year reign reached a new low in the capital.

The Reds were a mess defensively and offered nothing in attack as Palace ran riot on home soil. This latest setback means United have now suffered 13 Premier League defeats in 2023/24, their most in a single season, and have conceded 81 goals in all competitions - the highest tally since 1976/77.

"But it felt like one team had been coached and set up how to play and one team that was so easy to play against that it’s untrue. “There are still some good players in that Man United team and playing out on that pitch.

You think of the likes of Casemiro, he’s tough to have a go at, what a player he has been over the years. But that was tough to watch - he was on his backside most of the time.
