Manchester United’s’ eighth-placed Premier League finish last season was their worst in the competition’s 32-year history.
The 14 defeats they suffered in that 2023/24 campaign were their most and while Erik ten Hag was able to cling onto the manager’s job last summer, thanks largely to his FA Cup final win over neighbour’s Manchester City, he was dismissed in October following a 2-1 defeat at West Ham, their fourth reverse in nine league games.
