Man United’s season getting poorer by game

The 2024/2025 season is the one Manchester United fans will want to forget in a hurry, especially their form in the Premier League.

The Red Devils have lost 17 of the 36 Premier League games played this season, which is about 45 per cent of their matches, and even though they are in the final of the UEFA Europa League, which winning it would send them straight to the UEFA Champions League, their form so far this sason is not one to be happy about.

On a three points for a win basis, United are heading for their worst tally since their  1930-31 relegation campaign, when they would have collected 29 points in a 42-game campaign.

United are on 39 points and 16th in the table, with only Europa League final opponents Tottenham and the three relegated teams below them.

Manchester United's 17 Premier League defeats this season are their most in a league campaign since 1973-74 (20), when they were relegated to the second tier.

With nine home Premier League defeats the Red Devils have suffered their joint-most home losses in a single league campaign, along with 1930-31, 1933-34, and 1962-63.

Ruben Amorim's side are currently winless in seven Premier League games (D2 L5), their joint-longest ever run in the competition, also going seven without victory from September to November 1992 (D5 L2).

They have also fallen 1-0 behind 12 times at Old Trafford in the Premier League this season, with only already-relegated Leicester (15) doing so more at home in the 2024-25 competition, while it's the Red Devils' most in a single Premier League campaign, overtaking 11 times in 2023-24.

This was West Ham's first league win at Old Trafford since 2006-07, ending a run of 16 league trips there without a win (D3 L13). West Ham completed only their fifth top-flight double over Manchester United, after 1926-27, 1928-29, 1976-77, and 2006-07.
