Makeshift Backline News

Ball Park,Jonny Evans,Crystal Palace Football Club

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has vowed to “keep fighting” despite calls for his head as his side stares down the barrel of a worst-ever Premier League finish after a 4-0 thumping by Crystal Palace.

A makeshift centre-half pairing of Casemiro and Jonny Evans was torn apart by Palace, with Casemiro suffering one of the worst performances of his stellar career.

“I will keep fighting and I prepared the team in the best way I could do. It was not good enough, by far not good enough, so I have to take the responsibility for that but I will find the energy and I will prepare them for Sunday.”But Ten Hag was lashed by Liverpool great Jamie Carragher after the match, while even two Manchester United legends said the Dutchman must be sacked.

“At some point you’ve got to make a decision, they’re going to get absolutely hammered by Manchester City , they’re going to get annihilated, in fact, Arsenal will smash them to bits at Old Trafford, Newcastle will probably beat them and I wouldn’t even fancy them going to Brighton either. They might not get anything out of the rest of the season, playing like that.

His former United teammate Paul Scholes was similarly brutal, calling it the “final nail in the coffin”.“But tonight felt like the final nail in the coffin, really,” he added.“It felt like the end. If it is the end, I’m not sure what’s out there at the minute. The pair agreed that respected assistant coach Steve Maclaren should take charge of the final four games.
