Manchester United have reached a new low in their storied history following a disappointing 1-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, officially sealing their worst-ever Premier League season in terms of consistency and performance.
The defeat, marked by a 71st-minute strike from Marc Cucurella, extended United’s winless streak to eight games — a record not seen before in the Premier League era.
This season, United failed to win back-to-back league matches — a shocking statistic for a club of their stature and pedigree. Their campaign has been riddled with inconsistency, tactical instability, and poor form, all of which culminated in their 18th league defeat.
Never in the history of the Premier League had Manchester United endured such a dismal stretch, going an entire season without stringing two victories together and recording eight straight winless fixtures.
In contrast, Chelsea celebrated a crucial victory that significantly boosts their hopes of securing a UEFA Champions League spot under their new manager Enzo Maresca. The Blues displayed grit and determination, capitalizing on United’s struggles to claim all three points in front of their home crowd.
For Manchester United, attention now shifts to their upcoming Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur on May 21. The match carries enormous importance — not only as their final chance to lift silverware this season but also to redeem themselves and their supporters after months of turbulence and underachievement.
As fans and pundits reflect on what has gone wrong at Old Trafford, one thing remains clear: major changes will be needed in the summer to restore United’s credibility and competitiveness on both domestic and continental fron
