MANCHESTER UNITED were ripped apart by Michael Olise as their European hopes took a huge dent at Selhurst Park.

Erik Ten Hag had a makeshift back four in South London and his side were suffering the consequences almost instantly.

Man Utd were hammered 4-0 at Crystal Palace

Olise sliced through an absent midfield, shrugging off Christian Eriksen, before embarrassing stand-in centre back Casemiro.

The Frenchman charged down the remaining defenders before finishing calmly into the bottom corner.

More disorganized defence saw Jean-Philippe Mateta make it two goals before halftime. The striker spun Jonny Evans around before hammering past Andre Onana at the near post.

After the interval, United had little to say in response.

After Daniel Munoz had robbed Casemiro of the ball, Olise scored his second goal of the season with an incredible display of skill. Tyrick Mitchell then added his second of the season to make it three.

Here is how we rated the United players…

Andre Onana – 5

Will have been disappointed to concede at his near post for each of Mateta’s strike and Olise’s second, though they were both fantastic hits.

Made some good stops in the second half, especially in denying Eberchi Eze and Will Hughes.

Diogo Dalot – 5

Pinned back by Eberechi Eze for most of the evening and offered next to nothing going forwards.

Dalot also struggled when having to move across and fill in for the chaotic central defensive pairing, who were all over the show.

Casemiro – 3

His worst night in a Manchester United shirt.

The Brazilian was dropped into central defence once more but early on left a huge hole as Olise opened the scoring.

Casemiro charged out to stop the Frenchman but was left on his backside by the former Reading man, leaving the back four exposed.

It got worse in the second half when he conceded possession far too easily in the build up to Olise’s stunning second.

Jonny Evans – 4

Another to be embarrassed by a Palace forward. Mateta is hardly the most mobile of Premier League strikers but moved past Evans with complete ease.

Never looked comfortable alongside Casemiro.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 5

Not a very happy return to SE25 for Palace academy graduate Wan-Bissaka.

The full-back was deployed on the left to keep Olise quiet – which didn’t quite go to plan while he was harried by his energetic opposite number Daniel Munoz throughout.

Kobbie Mainoo – 5

With Gareth Southgate watching on from the stands the Mainoo hype-train hit the buffers.

Mainoo struggled to get a grip in midfield and was sloppy on the ball at times.

Christian Eriksen – 4

The former Tottenham man lacked any sort of presence in midfield.

Brushed off by Olise for the opener, Eriksen offered very little when it came to trying to stop Palace and even less in terms of going forwards.

Antony – 4

Not a lot for his personal snapper to get excited about this evening…

Rarely took on his full-back, Mitchell, and offered little help defensively as Palace ran riot at times.

Mason Mount – 5

A first start in any competition for the former Chelsea man since November, and boy did it look like it.

Mount as always put the effort in but was ineffective on the ball and, playing as a No10, offered little in terms of cover for the two midfielders behind him.

Alejandro Garnacho – 5

A shadow of the player everyone knows he can be at Selhurst Park.

Took the easy option on the ball far too often, never coming close to causing problems for Munoz at right-back.

Rasmus Hojlund – 5

Limited supply from those behind him but offered very little in terms of hold up play, especially compared to the marvellous Mateta at the other end

Substitutes

Sofyan Amrabat (on for Antony, 60’) – 5

Brought on to shore things up a 3-0, with Palace going on to grab a fourth not long after.

Amrabat’s only contribution of note was for a challenge on Olise.

Amad Diallo (on for Mount, 80’) – n/a

Ethan Wheatley (on for Hojlund, 80’)- n/a
