Manchester United are at risk of failing to qualify for Europe next season after a dismal 4-0 thrashing at Crystal Palace left the Red Devils eighth in the Premier League.

Michael Olise scored twice, either side of goals from the in-form Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell, as the Eagles’ resurgence since the appointment of Oliver Glasner as manager continues.

United who have only been absent from European competition once since the 1989-90 season, have never come lower than seventh in the Premier League era but are staring that possibility with title-chasing Arsenal to come at Old Trafford on Sunday.
