Manchester United

Edinson starts at Crystal Palace but our interim boss states it will be the Urguayan's final match as a Red.

Cavani will make his 59th appearance for the club, against the Eagles, and has scored 19 goals, 12 of them in the top flight. A seventh-placed finish would mean Conference League football next term. Edinson Cavani will be making his final Manchester United appearance at Crystal Palace, as the Reds end the 2021/22 season in the capital.

Manchester United's team for the final Premier League match of the season, at Crystal Palace, has been announced. Interim manager Ralf Rangnick takes charge ...

It means a first start for promising youngster Hannibal, while Edinson Cavani leads the line. There is plenty of youth on the bench, including Charlie Savage, who is part of a Premier League matchday squad for the first time, a few days after signing a new contract at the club. Manchester United's team for the final Premier League match of the season, at Crystal Palace, has been announced.

The three Manchester United players to blame for their struggles this year, include Jadon Sancho, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Harry Maguire.

Mistake after mistake has left Maguire in an unfavorable position with the club, and his status as team captain makes it all the easier to point the finger in his direction following a defeat. With 59 points on the season, Manchester United will finish in sixth place and is bound for the Europa League once again. For a club expected to be at the forefront of the Premier League title race each season, finishing outside of Champions League qualification is a disastrous failure on the part of the club.

Wilfried Zaha scored the only goal at Sellhurst Park as Crystal Palace won 1-0 against Manchester United, who will play in next season's Europa League after ...

Sent out early for the second half by Rangnick, powering down the touchline with the face of a man looking forward to all this being someone else’s problem, United stepped up their efforts a tad. Almost immediately, United’s midfield and defence offered little resistance as Zaha surged into the box and forced a save from David De Gea, who soon after had to do the same to stop Jeffrey Schlupp. It took a burst from Zaha to focus the home fans on the action, his pass narrowly failing to reach Odsonne Eduoard. Cristiano Ronaldo had not traveled to south London, and the given explanation of a recurring hip problem did little to quell discussion over where his future may lie. Manchester United’s worst season in 30 years of the Premier League ended with a typical whimper. After a season concluded with a goal difference of zero and some excruciatingly poor performances, Selhurst Park a case in point, playing any form of European football next season feels a like wholly undeserved bonus.

New manager Erik ten Hag was at Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park to watch Manchester United's final game of their worst season in Premier League history.

United will therefore be in the Europa League next season, while the Hammers will play Europa Conference League ball. There was no Cristiano Ronaldo for Ten Hag to watch, after the 37-year-old picked up a knock earlier in the week. The Dutchman will be in charge of United next season after signing a three-year contract to take over as manager.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has told his teammates to consider seeking a move away if they are not fully committed to the Premier League...

Matters did not improve under the German, with United only winning 10 of his 24 games in charge. Addressing his teammates, De Gea said: “Ones who want to stay, stay at the club. Fortunately for Manchester United, however, West Ham’s loss to Brighton & Hove Albion ensured that United finish in sixth and qualify for the Europa League.

Rangnick's spell in charge never got off the ground, beset by indecision, problems with backroom staff and a disillusioned squad.

For the trip to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 match in February, arguably the most important game of the campaign, Rangnick deliberated over which player to pick at right-back until a few hours before kick-off. Some, for instance, disagreed with him throwing on Hannibal Mejbri in the closing minutes at Anfield, feeling it did not give the 19-year-old chance to show his skills on the ball. United had granted Bailly an early departure to prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations but he was told to return to Carrington. Bailly then returned late from the tournament and was injured, too. Martial scored a “worldie” goal in training before United faced Villa in the FA Cup and was set to play, but he then complained of gastroenteritis. Club staff tried to steer him to focusing on coaching but, having worked as both a sporting director and manager, he felt the tasks required of each role could not be as neatly separated. At the beginning of the new year Fletcher relayed the message that United — meaning owner Joel Glazer, Richard Arnold and Murtough — did not view January as a good period to do business. At the heart of his dilemma was Ronaldo, as Rangnick explained on Friday. “Cristiano scored a few goals — I’m not blaming him at all, he did great in those games — but he’s not a pressing monster. He told Ronaldo of his intentions for a change in tactics days ahead of United’s trip to face Manchester City on March 6, with sessions then geared towards starting Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba as two false nines. The predominant message out of possession was to get in shape, tight and narrow. Last Wednesday Ronaldo was also absent from a squad meal at Wing’s, the Manchester city centre Chinese restaurant, laid on by the club for staff and players to say goodbye to long-serving United employees. Fletcher relayed the message, Rangnick listened, and Phelan provided the necessary pep talk to Martial, who at that point was in negotiations over an exit to Sevilla and had publicly rowed with United’s interim manager. It was judged Ronaldo should stay on given the need for a goal but he would be supported by Edinson Cavani so West Ham had two strikers to worry about and more space up top should appear.

I hope things will get better for next season -- that's the past already," De Gea added. We were sloppy, we lost some easy balls around our box, it's impossible to win the games," United goalkeeper David de Gea told MUTV. Watched by new manager Erik ten Hag from the stands, United produced a lacklustre display and went behind in the 37th minute as Zaha finished smartly from the edge of the box after picking up a loose pass and cutting across the United defence.

Ralf Rangnick has picked his Manchester United line-up v Crystal Palace for his last game in interim charge on the last day of the PL season.

The former Ajax manager is expected to be in attendance for today’s game and he will have the opportunity to watch his new players in the flesh. The Reds travel to Selhurst Park to face Patrick Vieira’s Eagles at Selhurst Park in what will be Rangnick’s final game in interim charge.

Erik ten Hag had former Ajax player Joel Veltman to thank for Manchester United escaping the Europa Conference League.

With 45 minutes of Sunday’s games played, the Europa Conference League beckoned. Manchester United end the season in the Europa League, finishing in sixth place, even with the low tally of 58 points. But at least the Europa League is better than the Conference League, a competition with a little history and prestige, the old UEFA Cup.

The visitors tried to improve their game in the second half but they looked poor in attack and barely created chances as Patrick Vieira's Palace ended the season on a winning note and took the 12th spot. United were nevertheless able to hold on to sixth place after West Ham United suffered a 3-1 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion and had to settle for seventh.

Wilfried Zaha netted the only goal of the game at Selhurst Park, which saw Ralf Rangnick's final match as interim manager end in defeat.

Inside the final 10 minutes, there were calls for a penalty to United as Cavani appeared to be hauled down in the box – but appeals were waved away and there was no VAR intervention either. Into the final 30 minutes of the season and the Reds were continuing to search for a leveller. At the other end, Zaha was continuing to cause problems, dragging a shot wide of the post. The resulting set-play saw Scott McTominay left with a free hear at the back post – but he could only direct his effort right at the keeper. David De Gea was then forced into a couple of smart saves from the Palace left, first from Wilfried Zaha and then Jeffrey Schlupp, but the Spaniard dealt with both efforts comfortably. At the start of the second period, an early chance came United’s way when Cavani was fouled in Palace territory.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has given an uncompromising view of the club's season after the final day defeat to Crystal Palace.

He is clearly looking forward to playing under new manager Erik ten Hag, and the Dutchman will appreciate the sentiment. It is likely he gets at least one season under Ten Hag, before the incoming manager decides if he needs a new goalkeeper or not. But he is not running away from the situation, and wants to put it right.

He added: “[I hope the players] who stay in the club just fight together to improve the team and [get] the club as high as possible.

Ralf Rangnick reflects on a bittersweet afternoon where United lost on the day but qualified for the Europa League.

We intended to play like that, that was the game-plan, to put them under pressure in their half, but we didn’t do it with enough aggressiveness or energy.” Unfortunately, we didn’t have any pre-season, we couldn’t strengthen the squad, but those things happen and, therefore in hindsight, it was bittersweet or sweet-bitter rather because in the first couple of months, we did well. “It was a new experience for me [being interim manager]. Not necessarily coming in the middle of the season but knowing that it will be an interim role. We had a few opportunities in the second half, but it was not clinical enough, that’s why, in the end, we conceded another defeat away from home.” We tried, we had big opportunities in the first half to score ourselves, but we didn’t. Especially in the first half, we had too many unforced errors, bad giveaways, and that was exactly the way that we conceded the goal. Here's a summary of what the German had to say...

A number of players were conspicuous by their absence for Man United's final Premier League game of the season.

"They shouldn't want to come because it is Manchester United, because maybe they get a good contract here, it should be for developing their careers and take the next best possible step in their careers. "None of our players that were not available today were told by me or by someone else that they should go on holiday or leave the team early. In his final press conference as United manager, Rangnick reiterated the recruitment criteria for the squad rebuild ahead of next season had to place an emphasis on the collective.

And it was at Twente that McClaren began his association with Ten Hag. He appointed Ten Hag as his first assistant manager, and was immediately impressed by the young Dutchman. After a successful first season in the Netherlands for McClaren, glory was to soon follow. This meant McClaren had become the first Englishman to win a top-flight title since Bobby Robson with Porto in 1996. “His great strength lies not just in his attention to detail and organisation. Next up for McClaren was a surprise move to Dutch football, when he was announced as manager of Eredivisie side Twente in June 2008. He left Boro following his appointment as the England national team manager in May 2006, a role he held until November 2007.

"We don't have to go over my football," said Ten Hag. "It's about the Man United football and about the Man United identity and philosophy. He added: "We are playing in the Theatre of Dreams and have to entertain the opponent. Manchester United will want to break into the top-four but there'll be time and patience because it's gone from 12 months ago preparing for a Europa League final and finishing second above Liverpool. If you think where we are today, I can't explain it. "It's been a desperate season and Erik Ten Hag has seen a glimpse probably of what the rest of us have seen all the way through. So to do it is necessary but football is one, two and three in this football club." I don't think any Manchester United fans wanted to watch a Manchester United game in these last few weeks. He added: "Of course. Also we are playing in the Theatre of Dreams. Asked if Manchester City and Liverpool's stranglehold on the Premier League title race under Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp could be disrupted, Ten Hag said: "In this moment, I admire them both. He already achieved a lot and also [made a] contribution to Man Utd. I am looking forward to working with him." He'd better go to a football club." I am convinced that this is not the case.

He also insisted he is not risking his reputation by taking the Old Trafford job - which has proved too difficult for David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. And, whilst it may not be great for the media, he has evidently learned enough at Ajax to hide behind wide-ranging statements. I'm convinced it won't be the case," he said. Every club needs it, needs the revenues to be at the top, to do it is necessary but football is one, two, three at this club." "He's a great player he achieved already a lot so I'm looking forward to working with him." "I don't see it as a risk," he said.

'You will always see an era come to an end,' the new manager said after a season in which United finished in sixth place with a record low of 58 points.

I will speak with the players at the end of June and in the first week of July,” he said. “We [he and his staff] at every club think about: ‘What is in the spirit of the club?’ That is what we want to know, but also that is why they appoint me as manager. “I have a good feeling from the meetings, we have a plan, and now it’s about getting the plan done, to get it into a process, to cooperate, to be consistent in our plan and when we have good people around, with the right connection and the right commitment and we will achieve the success we want.” Asked about this Ten Hag said: “I have heard that but I will draw my own line. Ten Hag did concede that he will have to hit the ground running. He will also wait until the first of his players return on 27 June to meet them for the first time. We have a strategy, a concept, and we will work on that. First of all we will roll it out to the staff, then the players, and then you will see,” he said. I think if we improve, if we can work with them, we can get more out of them than this season,” he said. “First of all, we want to make the fans proud. If we can’t play fantastic football, we still have to win.” Despite the low finish Ten Hag suggested the group he takes charge of remains one that can challenge.
