Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge has not only deepened their crisis, it has officially marked their worst-ever Premier League season in terms of consistency.
Ruben Amorim’s side will end the 2024/25 league campaign without managing back-to-back wins, an unprecedented failure in the club’s Premier League history.
This comes as part of an eight-match winless run, capped off by Marc Cucurella’s 71st-minute winner, which condemned United to their 18th defeat of the season.
Never before have United gone an entire league season without stringing two victories together.
Never before have they failed to win in eight consecutive league matches.
While Chelsea celebrated a crucial win under Enzo Maresca in their bid for a Champions League spot, United were left clinging to the hope of redemption through silverware.
Their Europa League final against Tottenham on May 21 now takes on massive importance, not just to salvage a trophy, but to claw back some semblance of credibility after a season defined by historic underachievement.
