Jamie Carragher, Ashley Young, and Erik ten Hag expressed their belief that Manchester United players “do not deserve” what occurred moments after their defeat against Crystal Palace.
Carragher remarked on the exceptional support from the away fans, highlighting that the players may take solace in the fans’ unwavering backing despite the disappointing performance.
Responding to the away crowd’s support, former Liverpool and England defender Carragher said on Sky Sports: “That’s unbelievable, isn’t it? Most teams’ away support is fantastic, they go on the road and they pay the money.
“That is absolutely fantastic from Manchester United fans because you know what? Those players do not deserve that and if they go off thinking ‘it wasn’t as bad as we think because look at the supporters’ reaction’.
”Carragher continued: “Look at that, that is unbelievable support from those lads and girls.”
Ashley Young commended the fans for their continuous support through tough times and emphasized the importance of their presence.
The former United player Ashley Young added: “The fans are fantastic all the time and when there’s been difficult periods and difficult times they’ve always stuck by them.
“Like you say, you look at the display tonight from that Manchester United team, you probably would’ve thought most of these fans would have left the ground already but they’re not, they’re still there, they’re still singing and for them to be there is what the club is about, it’s what the fans are about and they want to see much much more than this.
”Erik ten Hag acknowledged the team’s underperformance but appreciated the fans’ unwavering support and emphasized the need for unity and responsibility amidst challenges.
Speaking after the match, Ten Hag praised the away support. He said: “It is clear and it is obvious, this is underperforming. We didn’t act how we want to do it and it’s by far not good enough.
“We are very disappointed, but the fans were always behind us and we keep fighting, like the fans did.
“I was really grateful [to the fans]. They back us. They see also we have our problems. You have to stick together. You have to take responsibility. The fans gave us such huge and tremendous support.”
