ERIK ten Hag smiled when he embraced Oliver Glasner but his smile didn't last long.
Manchester United's embarrassing 4-0 defeat at Selhurst Park at the beginning of May was their 13th of the Premier League season, which represented a new club record.
Paul Scholes was on punditry duty that night and likened the performance to the 4-1 defeat against Watford in November 2021, which was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's final game in charge.
"Tonight felt like the final nail in the coffin," Scholes told Premier League Productions. "There was a lack of know-how from the team, a lack of effort which is the big disappointing thing. "Going to a team like Crystal Palace... don't get me wrong, they're doing well, but whatever situation United are in, they shouldn't be going there and losing 4-0, it felt like the end.
"If it is the end, I'm not sure, because what's out there at the minute? I've felt he might get another year and work for a club that has calmed down a little bit by the new owners.
