The Fall Begins: Post-Ferguson Struggles

When Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 after delivering 13 Premier League titles, few predicted Manchester United's dramatic decline. The 2013/14 season under David Moyes saw the defending champions plummet to 7th place - their worst finish in 24 years. Subsequent managers failed to reverse the trend:

Key Low Points (2013-2022)

• 2015/16: Louis van Gaal's team scored only 49 goals (club's PL record low)
• 2016/17: José Mourinho's fifth-place finish despite 25-game unbeaten run
• 2021/22: 58-point season under Solskjær/Rangnick (then-worst in PL era)

The 2024/25 Nightmare: Breaking Bad Records

Rúben Amorim's first season as manager became United's most disastrous campaign in modern history:

Historic Lows

• Final position: 15th (42 points)
• 18 defeats (4 more than previous worst)
• -10 goal difference (first negative since 1991)
• 0 back-to-back wins (first time since 1921)

Anatomy of a Crisis

Ownership Issues

The Glazer family faced renewed protests after 20 years of ownership, with fans blaming poor transfer decisions like £85m Antony and £72m Rasmus Højlund for squad imbalance.

Tactical Turmoil

Amorim's high-pressing system collapsed under injury crises and poor execution. The Portuguese manager recorded United's worst PL win rate (24%) with only 6 victories in 25 games.

Cultural Collapse

Once-feared opponents now relished facing United, exemplified by humiliating defeats:
• 0-7 vs Liverpool (2023/24)
• 1-4 vs Newcastle (2024/25)

Road to Redemption?

With no European football for the first time in eight years, United face critical decisions:
• Ownership restructuring
• Squad overhaul
• Managerial Stability
• Youth development revival

As Bruno Fernandes (8 goals, 9 assists) remains the sole bright spot, United's path back to relevance appears long and uncertain. The club must rediscover its identity through strategic planning and football-first decisions rather than commercial priorities.
