In Manchester United's dismal 4-0 defeat against Crystal Palace, several players found themselves under scrutiny for their lackluster performances, contributing to one of the Red Devils' worst displays of the season.
Christian Eriksen, brought in to provide creativity and experience to the midfield, failed to assert his authority on the game. Despite his reputation as a playmaker, Eriksen struggled to influence proceedings and was unable to orchestrate meaningful attacks for United.
Similarly, Casemiro, known for his defensive prowess and physical presence in midfield, was unable to contain the relentless Palace onslaught. The Brazilian midfielder found himself overrun by Palace's dynamic attackers, leaving gaping holes in United's defense and failing to provide adequate protection to his backline.
Rasmus Højlund endured a frustrating outing, with his only notable contribution being a disallowed goal due to a foul on the Palace goalkeeper. The Danish forward struggled to make an impact in the final third, lacking the cutting edge required to trouble the Palace defense.
Antony, another summer signing brought in with high expectations, failed to live up to the hype in a crucial fixture for United. The Brazilian winger was largely anonymous throughout the game, failing to create opportunities or threaten the Palace defense with his pace and dribbling ability.
