According to a recent Squawka report, Manchester United's struggles on the road in the Premier League have been glaring, with a total of eight away losses by four or more goals throughout the competition's history. The club's most recent setbacks include a 7-0 defeat against Liverpool, a 4-0 loss to Brentford, and another 4-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace. What's particularly noteworthy is that Erik ten Hag, who has been linked with the managerial role at Manchester United, has overseen three of these humiliating losses.
1. Liverpool
The7-0 thrashing by Liverpool was undoubtedly one of the lowest points in Manchester United's recent history. Anfield has often been a daunting venue for visiting teams, but the manner in which United capitulated was shocking. The result not only exposed defensive frailties but also raised questions about the team's mentality and ability to compete against top sides away from home.
2. Brentford
Similarly, the 4-0 loss to Brentford highlighted Manchester United's inconsistency under pressure. Brentford, a newly-promoted side, managed to dismantle United with relative ease, leaving fans bewildered and frustrated. The defeat not only dented United's title aspirations but also intensified scrutiny on the tactics and selection decisions made by the coaching staff.
3. Crystal Palace
The recent 4-0 defeat against Crystal Palace further compounded Manchester United's away woes. Selhurst Park has historically been a challenging venue for visiting teams, but the manner in which United succumbed to defeat was alarming. Once again, defensive lapses and a lack of cohesion were evident, raising serious doubts about the team's ability to compete at the highest level away from home.
