The saddest part is, the players actually appeared to be trying.

That's the dangerous part in all of this.
They probably don't have a higher level/gear. What you saw today is their level

We lumbered against the bottom of the league team (I can't even remember who it was).
The 2nd from bottom team was a draw.
And we got walloped by the first team we met that isn't in the relegation zone or in the Championship.
Even allowing for injuries, to lose 4-0 is unbelievable.

Don’t want Casemiro anywhere near the cup final. That being said, half the bells shouldn’t be there!

Just awful.

I don't want that either. But to be honest, it makes no difference who plays that game for us. We will never be able to win. "Can United score"? "No, only very rarely".

Diamond Kaz · May 6, 2024

Very upsetting performance, I wish the season would end now.

yeti · May 6, 2024

only reason we'll come 8th is because West Ham and Brighton have man city to play and won't get the points to finish above us. I doubt we'll get any more points this season.

Wrecking ralf · May 6, 2024

Would Louis Jackson have done that much worse than Casemiro in that game? How the feck did him and Eriksen play 90 mins btw? I’m pretty sure Erik is done with this team and isn’t even bothering himself now. We’ll do well to get 3 points from our remaining games. God help us in the final too. Be some records broken for an FA cup final I reckon

joedirt87 · May 6, 2024

Erik’s last match? Very bad.

Can't wait to hear what EtH has to say...

I showed how good I am in the Dutch league eh, I want to play az alkmaar again so hipsters think I'm a legend.

Plant0x84 · May 6, 2024

This club is shattered. This team is in pieces.

Writing on the wall. Inevitable now, unfortunately.

Dread to think what Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton will do to this team

Irwin99 · May 6, 2024

Horrific. Everyone knows the manager is a problem but when you have players that can't run against any half decent physical side then you're going to struggle. Think we've seen the last season of Casemiro, Eriksen and probably Evans (not criticizing him, he's just getting on).

Add to this Mainoo who is a fantastic talent but needs energetic players around him to help his game. As someone said, a few months in the gym might help him a lot.

Dalot was terrible, AwB has just no awareness of what's around him at all. Hojlund's hold up play was non-existent, Antony was as bad as anything Rashford has served up this season. Horrendous all around.

Glorio · May 6, 2024

It was briefly comforting that Palace seemed to be trying to run the clock down at the start of the second half, as it was clear that if they actually tried, they'd hammer us even more. Ended up happening.

We had absolutely nothing. Playing a high line with Casemiro, Evans, Eriksen, Mainoo, Mount was a fun concept. In the dark 10 years, this is the worst we've been

Gopher Brown · May 6, 2024

I am delighted we're 8th in the league, and I can't understand how we've fluked ourself into the top half of the table. Genuinely amazed, considering how we have played this season.

simplyared · May 6, 2024

Undoubtably the worst performance I've ever seen from a utd team and I've watched them since the early 60's. Never seen a goalkeeper that bad either.

At least it was only 4, will be more than that in the next game.

We all know he’s done, no different to Moyes and Ole at the end now and just through the motions waiting for the sacking to happen. Genuine possibility that is his last game in charge.

I don’t feel this way. If he gets the sack it will be after the FA cup

Red Royal · May 6, 2024

Congratulations Bayern on your new manager, we will miss Erik

eire-red · May 6, 2024

We are now where we deserve to be in the table based off our performances this season.

Not to mention the 60 mill keeper might be a dud too.

DRJosh · May 6, 2024

I don’t blame the players for today’s result. I blame the manager and his crap recruitment. He underestimated the standard of EPL football and results in his first season flattered him massively which made the situation worse and increased his own believe in his stubborn tactics.

bosnian_red · May 6, 2024

Entirely predictable battering. You haven't been paying attention to anything this season if you thought this would have gone differently. Us being in 8th is an entirely fake position in the table, we've played like roughly the 15th placed team in the league all season and deserve feck all.

Ten hag, just put the guy out of his misery. Idiotic to sacrifice a cup final.

Rustyspider13 · May 6, 2024

Not one chance created. Not a single one. A pointless match. Just like our result tonight... heyoooo.

It's 3 am and I'm really really sad.

BumFlufferies · May 6, 2024

The other funny thing is; Aston Villa, with Unai Emery in charge, are about to finish in the top 4

Emery recorded what stands today as the third-highest win percentage in the club's history (55%) and reached a Europa League final but he left in November 2019 with his reputation in tatters, mocked for his imperfect English and derided as incompatible with the demands of Premier League football.Dec 8, 2023

well he might be shit but at least we paid 55mil for him

pearsonshotgoal · May 6, 2024

The weakest Utd team I can remember in my 50 years of following this club.

Catt · May 6, 2024

Scoreline flattened United

MonkeysMagic · May 6, 2024

The pathetic depths this team can sink to is just mortifying. There are still some fans, you know who you are, that hide behind excuses of 'structure, injuries, not his players' etc etc but we will never become a force again unless we call out the level of mediocrity and show managers the door when they sink to such levels.

Mr Anderson · May 6, 2024

Hopefully another Watford moment. Erik needs to move on.

I don’t mind at all giving time to a manager, but you need to see clear progress and a clear plan. This isn’t one of those seasons where “results haven’t gone our way”, we’ve been easily beaten over and over, same gaps and same issues persist. A manager who claims we play the most entertaining football. We are regressing once more and the lack of cohesion and gameplan is totally on the managers head.

players are also shit ontop of it of course, but this isn’t the same pricks that downed tools for Jose, Ralf and Ole. This is just a group that are average at best but have no real leader on or off the pitch.

TheNewEra · May 6, 2024

I'm so glad I support this great club. I watch every game and I think it can't get any worse.

He will probably be amazing there. Seems everyone and everything turns to shit at united

moodyred · May 6, 2024

Would love the season to end now. I gave every single player a rating of 1. That's because there isn't the option for zero.

gearoid · May 6, 2024

I don't think we're very good at this football malarkey. Not a single positive to take away from that game. Fair play to those away fans. First class as always.

Glorio · May 6, 2024

Casemiro's sliding tackles ... :lol:

DavidDeSchmikes · May 6, 2024

this kind of result was on the cards, it was going to happen at some point
I'm dreading the last few games

I think it 100% would have been if we weren’t in the cup final

Still think there’s a chance though. Felt very Everton (Moyes) or Watford (Ole)

Von Mistelroum · May 6, 2024

It's so weird to watch a performance like that, against a team of that level, and not be surprised at all.

I fully expect to see Ten Hag saying that we did well, and that we were entertaining, and that we can't expect to win with injuries and without De Jong and Kane.

Edit: and to remain employed.

Glorio · May 6, 2024

Our away fans are unbelievable btw

big_jeffstar · May 6, 2024

Has any team ever conceded ten goals in an F.A cup final before?

stu_1992 · May 6, 2024

Nothing positive to dya about that really. Hamstring by injuries and it showed tonight. Even considering that, it was incredibly poor.

Canuckred64 · May 6, 2024

Hopefully this is rock bottom. If we play worse than this we will be relegated next year. I can't see us wining another game this year, if we do manage to win one let it be against City.

goldenballs · May 6, 2024

The only positive. It is mathematically impossible to be relegated.

CasaStreets · May 6, 2024

I've always wondered how Eze and Olise weren't scoring + creating goals for fun together. Too good of a pair to not be among the best attacks in the league. Thankfully, we've sorted that.

Todd · May 6, 2024

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
