United have managed just 16 wins in 36 games, leaving them sitting eighth in the standings with 54 points.

The Manchester club suffered a 4-0 humiliating defeat at Crystal Palace last week and were hoping to bounce back to winning ways when they hosted Arsenal at Old Trafford over the weekend.

However, Ten Hag's men recorded yet another defeat, with Leandro Trossard scoring the only goal of the match.

Manchester United set unwanted records

According to SPORTbible, the defeat came at a cost for United as it saw them set two unwanted records.

The Old Trafford dwellers have shipped in 82 goals this season, the most in a single campaign in 53 years.

The last time the club conceded as many goals was in 1970/71, when they finished eighth in the first division.

Additionally, the defeat to Arsenal was United's 19th in the 49 games they have played this season.

They have now lost the most games in a single season for the first time since the 1977/78 campaign.

Ten Hag's men will be hoping to make amends in their two final games of the season against Newcastle United and Brighton.

Man United fans single out Casemiro for blame

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Manchester United fans singling out Casemiro for blame following their Premier League defeat against Arsenal at Old Trafford.

The midfielder was largely responsible for the goal as he strode up the pitch to play Kai Havertz onside when the ball dropped to him down the right.

The Brazilian's role in the goal saw him come under scrutiny once again.
