Olise works his magic to deepen Ten Hag's misery
The Guardian|May 07, 2024
If Erik ten Hag's future at Manchester United remained up for debate then surely this removed any lingering doubts for Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Even amid a season in which his team have lurched from one disaster to another, a scintillating performance from a Crystal Palace side inspired by the magical feet of Michael Olise delivered one of the most embarrassing evenings of the Dutchman's tenure.

Olise works his magic to deepen Ten Hag's misery

Crystal Palace           4

Manchester United  0

United's European aspirations for next season may now have to rely on them beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final after two goals from Olise, Jean-Philippe Mateta's ninth in 11 since the appointment of Oliver Glasner and another from Tyrick Mitchell gave Palace a league double over their opponents for the first time in Premier League history.

The scant consolation for Ten Hag was that Palace could not find a fifth to match their record victory over United back in December 1972 after Odsonne Édouard hit the post late on - a result that led to the sacking of the manager Frank O'Farrell three days later.

With Harry Maguire ruled out for the remainder of the season, the 36-year-old Jonny Evans was the only central defender at Ten Hag's disposal for the trip to south London. Yet while Mason Mount was able to make only his fifth Premier League start of the season, the extent of United's injury list meant that two of the substitutes were goalkeepers and four had never made a senior appearance.
