Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has broken his silence about his future in the wake of his team's humiliating defeat against Crystal Palace on Monday evening.

The Dutchman's squad plunged to new depths in what has been a lacklustre season, suffering a 4-0 upset against the Eagles at Selhurst Park on May 6.

The Red Devils found themselves trailing 2-0 at half-time after goals from Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta, before Olise struck again following Tyrick Mitchell's goal after the break.

The resounding victory for the Eagles marks the first time they have secured a league double over the 20-time Premier League champions.
