Coach Erik ten Hag and his students just lost 0-4 to Crystal Palace, thereby experiencing their 13th loss in the current campaign. This is a record number of defeats in MU history in the Premier League. But even if it was that bad, Ten Hag still refused to resign.

Speaking after the match on Sky Sports , coach Ten Hag said: “There are always reasons to talk about defeat, everyone can see our defense. We have huge problems. However, , we still have to deal with it and we should have done better than we did.

I gave really clear instructions on how we should defend. But we are still attacked. That’s a problem. That’s a very poor defense.”

Casemiro is one of the MU stars having difficulty at Selhurst Park, when the midfielder switched to being a defender to fill the void left by Maguire. He was at fault for the home team’s 2 lost goals. But despite the £70m midfielder’s inconsistent performance, Ten Hag still doesn’t want to say too much. He does not want to blame any individual.

He said: “You can’t put pressure on one player, it’s the whole team’s performance. The throw-in, when we conceded the first goal, that shouldn’t have happened. It was the whole team’s.” .

We don’t follow the rules. We cannot adapt. To organize the defense, to control that situation, we have to do better than that.”

Finally, the Dutch coach announced that he would not resign: “I will continue to fight with my players. I must stay to achieve that goal with my players.

There are many reasons for this disappointing season. As you can see, our defense has too many injuries. But we will fight to the end.”

The recent results left MU languishing in 8th place, facing the risk of missing the European Cup next season. They have received 13 defeats this season, the most in the club’s Premier League history . This is also the first season since 1989/90 that MU has a negative goal difference.
