Manchester United’s 4-0 loss against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday night set a new low for the team this season.

Even while a top-four Premier League finish may previously have been out of the question, it’s now doubtful if United will make it to Europe this year at all. After dropping ground to Chelsea and Newcastle United, the team is currently in seventh place.

United had just seven shots on goal that night, with two of them going in, and was unable to muster any оffensive threаt even though they held a 57% possession advantage.

In the end, United’s midfield let them down, as Christian Eriksen was unable to have any meaningful influence on the game.

With just one shot blocked, Eriksen was hardly a dаnger offensively. Eriksen was given the task of taking United’s free kicks on the evening while Bruno Fernandes was sidelined due to ιnjury.

Before the half, he attempted a shot that went over the crossbar and over the wall, but he was sadly mainly unable to have an effect from set pieces.

The Danish midfielder created a great opportunity in the second half by winning a free kιck and sending the ball to Casemiro, whose header struck the post. The goal was declared offside even though he was able to score on the rebound.

Eriksen completed 45 of his 55 passes for an accuracy rate of 82%, demonstrating his adequate short-range passing. Eriksen is 32 years old.

In addition, he succeeded in all three crosses that he attempted, and four of his eight long balls connected with their intended goal. However, Eriksen found it difficult when it came to defense.

Eriksen lost all three of his ground battles, and his unimpressive physique finally caught up with him. He was unable to make a single tackle and lost possession 14 times.

Even when he was able to save a shot, his shortcomings would still be apparent.

The game’s biggest error by Eriksen occurred in the twelfth minute. Eriksen, who ought to have been marking Michael Olise, gave the Palace winger far too much room as he made himself available for a throw-in. Eriksen eventually realized his mistake, but by then Olise had already scored Palace’s first goal of the game by dribbling past Casemiro and hammering the ball past Andre Onana.

Throughout the game, he was also unable to finish a single dribble.

In the end, Eriksen’s performance lacked a great deal of energy. In the future, it seems likely that the Dane will play a less part for United if he can’t increase his stamina.
