Man Utd fall into the abyss, set an extremely bad milestone

Man Utd lost 0-1 in the Europa League final against Tottenham last night. This result caused the Red Devils to not only miss out on the Europa League title but also fail to qualify for next season's Champions League.

This was a match in which Man Utd controlled 73% of the match, had 16 shots but failed to score any goals. Meanwhile, Tottenham scored from their only shot on target.

This season, Man Utd have suffered defeat in all 4 matches against Tottenham (2 matches in the Premier League, 1 match in the English League Cup, 1 match in the Europa League). The last time the Red Devils lost 4 times to an opponent was against Everton in the 1985/86 season.

Not only that, with their 20th defeat of the season, Man Utd has set a terrible milestone. According to Opta statistics, for the first time since the 1973/74 season, the red half of Manchester has lost so many matches in a season. 51 years ago, Man Utd lost 22 matches and was relegated.

Although not as dire as 1974, this was a very bad season for Man Utd. They only ranked 16th in the Premier League (the worst in the Premier League era) and did not win any championship.

Man Utd will not be playing in any European competitions next season. The last time the Red Devils faced this reality was in the 2014/15 season, after they finished 7th in the Premier League in 2013/14 under manager David Moyes.

After the defeat to Tottenham, coach Amorim admitted that he was ready to leave Man Utd without receiving any contract compensation. However, the Red Devils' leadership still showed their faith in the Portuguese strategist.
