[Saba Sports News] Following Manchester United’s 0-4 defeat against Crystal Palace in the Premier League, renowned British journalist Piers Morgan mocked Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag on social media. Morgan posted a picture of Ten Hag’s dismayed expression on the sidelines, accompanied by a caption suggesting Ten Hag might need sleeping pills, given the team’s poor performance. The defeat marked Manchester United’s 13th loss of the season, setting a new record for the club. Contributing factors to the defeat include fixture congestion, with Manchester United playing numerous games in quick succession after the league’s resumption, and a string of injuries within the squad. With Manchester United currently sixth in the Premier League, 13 points behind the fourth-placed team, their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season are slim.
