Manchester United's Struggles Continue as Crystal Palace Demolition Sets Unwanted Records
In a disappointing turn of events, Manchester United recently faced a significant setback following their defeat by Crystal Palace. The team, once a powerhouse during the Ferguson era, have been struggling to maintain their former glory since his retirement.
Instead of progressing, Manchester United seem to be regressing, as evidenced by their performance in the 2023/2024 season.
During their match against Crystal Palace, Manchester United conceded a total of 81 goals across all competitions, marking the first time they have allowed such a high number since the 1976/1977 season.
The 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace not only handed the team their largest-ever defeat against the opposition but also saw Crystal Palace achieve a double victory over Manchester United for the first time.
Furthermore, the 2023/2024 season proved to be a challenging one for Manchester United, as they suffered a total of 13 defeats in the English Premier League alone. This unfortunate statistic marks the first time since the inception of the English Premier League in the 21st Century that Manchester United has experienced the most defeats in a single campaign.
The team's struggles highlight the challenges they are currently facing in their quest for success in the competitive world of football.
