Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United have suffered some embarrassing losses

In his first season, his team recovered well after humbling defeats against Brighton and Brentford to finish third in the Premier League.

In his second campaign, things got worse. The team finished eighth, their worst Premier League finish and also finished bottom of their Champions League group.

However, they have won two trophies so far. Still, fans are not convinced about their league performances. The coach is confident about his role despite calls for him to get fired.

Since he took over, the Red Devils have suffered many historic defeats and here are the top 5.

Top 5 Man United defeats

5. Man City 6-3 Man United

In his first Manchester derby, Erik ten Hag's side were humiliated at the Etihad Stadium. They conceded two hat-tricks from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden. Their three consolation goals made the game look close, but it wasn't. The aftermath was brutal but wins against Arsenal and Liverpool made it a little easier for the Dutchman. The last time they conceded six against Man City was in 2011 at Old Trafford.

4. Man United 0-3 Bournemouth

Bournemouth registered a historic win at Old Trafford in December 2023, promoting fans to boo the home side. It was Bournemouth's first-ever win at Old Trafford. Man United dominated possession but were curved open easily by the Cherries.

3. Man United 0-3 Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham handed Erik ten Hag one of his worst defeats this past Sunday, and it could've been worse. The hosts were second-best all game, even before Bruno Fernandes received a controversial red card. The performance was heavily criticised by Man United legend, and many fans are calling for him to be fired.

2. Crystal Palace 4-0 Man United

This game came towards the end of the season and were destroyed by a Michael Olise-inspired team. Casemiro had an awful game at centre-back and was at fault for some of Palace's goals. It was the first time Palace defeated Man United home and away in their history

1. Liverpool 7-0 Man United

In March last year, Liverpool handed their biggest rivals their worst defeat in Premier League history. Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah each scored two goals in one of the most memorable games in the league's history. It was Man United's heaviest competitive defeat since 1931, per Sky Sports.
