The match laid bare United's defensive frailties, with two goals conceded in each half, leading to a comprehensive defeat.

This defeat marks a historic low for Manchester United in the Premier League, with it being their 13th loss in the league this season.

It also represents the third instance under Ten Hag's tenure where United suffered a defeat by four or more goals in an away league match. The result further dims their prospects of securing European football for the upcoming season.

Adding to their woes, the absence of key defenders including Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, and Lisandro Martinez due to injuries compounds their defensive challenges, with no immediate solution in sight.

Prior to the match, Ten Hag was already under scrutiny, amidst significant changes being made behind the scenes by new co-owner Jim Ratcliffe.

This defeat only fuels speculation that the Dutchman's tenure may be in jeopardy, with talks of a potential dismissal either before or during the summer.
