Just In: Manchester United Set Unwanted Premier League Record with 18th Defeat
Manchester United’s turbulent 2024/25 season reached a new low this week, as the Red Devils suffered their 18th league defeat, marking the worst Premier League campaign in the club’s history.
In a narrow 1-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Erik ten Hag’s men looked flat and uninspired, with the team struggling to create clear chances. The result not only sealed another frustrating night for fans but also broke the club’s all-time record for most defeats in a single Premier League season—surpassing the previous worst of 17 from the 2013/14 campaign.
United’s defensive woes and lack of consistency have plagued them all season. Injuries to key players, tactical uncertainty, and off-field distractions have contributed to their downfall. Despite occasional flashes of brilliance, including individual performances from players like Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes, the team has largely underperformed across all competitions.
What makes the situation even more alarming is the lack of progress under Ten Hag, who was brought in to stabilize and rebuild the club. With fans calling for accountability and potential changes looming this summer, the pressure is mounting on both the manager and the board.
With just one game left in the season, Manchester United now faces the prospect of finishing outside the European spots entirely—a scenario almost unthinkable a decade ago. As the dust settles on a disastrous campaign, one thing is certain: change is not just desired at Old Trafford—it’s essential.
