Manchester United's worst Premier League defeats following Everton humiliation

United were thumped by Everton on Easter Sunday.

Manchester United had an Easter Sunday to forget as they crashed to a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Everton – a performance former defender Gary Neville described as "rancid".

Here, Press Association Sport charts six other heavy losses United have suffered in the Premier League.

The first time United had leaked six goals at Old Trafford since 1930, this was their heaviest home defeat for 56 years. Mario Balotelli (2), Edin Dzeko (2), Sergio Aguero and David Silva were on target as City kick-started their title drive – with Darren Fletcher's 81st-minute reply all the hosts could muster.

Philippe Albert's stunning lob over Peter Schmeichel capped a thumping win as Kevin Keegan's men gained some revenge having lost the title to United the previous season.  Darren Peacock, David Ginola, Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer had already scored by then.

Chelsea 5 Manchester United 0, October 3, 1999

Chelsea ended United's 29-game unbeaten run in style. Gus Poyet was on the scoresheet after just 27 seconds, Chris Sutton made it 2-0 and Jody Morris rounded off the scoring – after a Henning Berg own goal and Nicky Butt red card on a dismal afternoon for United.

Egil Ostenstad fired a hat-trick, Roy Keane was sent off and Matt Le Tissier chipped Schmeichel. Arguably more humiliating than United's 3-1 defeat at The Dell that Sir Alex Ferguson blamed on the side's grey kit.

Manchester United 1 Liverpool 4, March 14, 2009

Fernando Torres ran riot, with Steven Gerrard, Fabio Aurelio and Andrea Dossena also on target. Despite this home humbling, with Nemanja Vidic dismissed 14 minutes from time, United still progressed to take the title.

Chelsea 4 Manchester United 0, October 23, 2016

Jose Mourinho endured a torrid return to Stamford Bridge as Chelsea hammered United. Pedro and Gary Cahill were on target in the first half, before Eden Hazard and N'Golo Kante broke through after the break.
