Manchester United have once again established a dismal precedent in the English Premier League.
In the final away match of the Premier League championship on May 20, Manchester United will face Bournemouth. This encounter comes as the Red Devils are grappling with a record-low number of away losses in the league, a trend that has been a significant factor in their season.
Currently, Manchester United has suffered eight away losses in the ongoing 2024-25 season. This is a record low for the club, surpassing their previous worst of seven away losses in a single season, which occurred in both the 2015/16 and 2021/22 seasons.
The teams that have managed to secure victories over Manchester United on their home turf this season include Brentford, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Brighton.
As the season nears its end, Manchester United is fighting to secure a spot in the Champions League for the next season. After 34 matches, they are in fourth place in the Premier League, two points behind third-placed Newcastle.
Despite the record-low away losses, Manchester United's overall away record this season is 4 wins, 6 draws, and 9 losses. This performance has contributed to their 15th place finish in the league, which is their worst since relegation in 1973-74.
The club's recent form under different management has been challenging. Under Ruben Amorim, appointed in November 2024, Manchester United continued to struggle in the Premier League, with a notably poor win rate of 24.1% (7 wins in 29 games), a record comparable to managers who suffered relegation.
While Manchester United's away losses are significant, they do not hold the records for the highest number of away defeats in Premier League history. The record for most losses in Premier League history belongs to Everton with 460 losses, and the record for most losses in a single season is held by Southampton with 30 losses in 2024-25.
As the season progresses, Manchester United has the potential to lose away for a ninth time. The upcoming match against Bournemouth will be a crucial test for the team as they aim to secure a Champions League spot and improve their away form.
Despite the record-low number of away losses in the ongoing 2024-25 Premier League season, Manchester United is still striving to improve their away form, with the upcoming football match against Bournemouth on May 20 being a significant test. European-leagues, particularly the Premier League, will be closely watching this encounter as Manchester United fights to secure a spot in next season's Champions League.
