It’s crisis time for Manchester United, as their winless run stretched to six matches

It’s crisis time for Manchester United, as their winless run stretched to six matches following a dismal 2-0 defeat to West Ham United — their fourth loss in that bleak sequence.

Tomas Soucek opened the scoring for the visitors, before Jarrod Bowen sealed the result with a composed finish, plunging Erik ten Hag’s side into deeper Premier League turmoil just weeks before the Europa League final.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur, United’s opponents in the upcoming final, suffered an identical 2-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace. The hero of the night was Eberechi Eze, who netted both goals in a standout performance at Selhurst Park.

With both Spurs and Manchester United floundering in domestic form, fans and pundits are left wondering — have both sides mentally checked out of the Premier League to focus solely on securing Champions League football via the Europa League final?
