On Monday, May 6, 2024, at 16:00, the Premier League will see Manchester United host Crystal Palace.

Many Manchester United supporters may be rejoicing in the fact that their team’s Premier League campaign is winding down. Erik ten Hag hasn’t exactly had a smooth 23/24 season. He’s been sidelined for a long time due to a multitude of ailments, external team troubles, and humiliating losses.

The last mystery for the Red Devils is this: how will they conclude? Europa League, Europa Conference, or perhaps nothing might still be theirs.

The last four games are crucial. Getting to Selhurst Park is the first order of business, and spectators may see the referee wearing something a little unusual.
