Erik ten Hag was in attendance at Selhurst Park on Sunday as he watched his new Manchester United side fall to a lacklustre 1-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace.
It was a fitting end to a forgettable campaign for United who finished the season with their lowest points total in a Premier League season, sneaking a spot in the Europa League thanks only to Brighton ’s victory over West Ham.
The defeat was a reminder of the size of the task on Ten Hag’s hands, and work for him will properly start on 27 June which is when Man Utd players will begin to return for pre-season.
