Manchester United’s terrible start to the season continued Saturday as Erik ten Hag’s team fell to a 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace in the English Premier League.
But there was some solace for melancholy United fans as rival, and defending champion, Manchester City succumbed to a shock 2-1 away loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The defeat to London-based Palace was United’s second successive home defeat and fourth in seven league games, leaving Ten Hag’s team 10th in the league on nine points. It is United’s worst start to a Premier League season after seven games – and the club’s worst in the top-flight since the 1989-90 season, according to Reuters.
Though United enjoyed a relatively successful campaign last season, finishing third in the league and winning the League Cup, there has already been talk of the club being in crisis after this season’s start. This defeat will not have done much to raise spirits. Unusually, the blue half of the city also experienced defeat, and this one was certainly a shock. City had won every league game this season and was expected to beat a Wolves team which had won just once in the league.
