Manchester United's 2024/25 season will be one the fans will want to forget.
Beaten by Tottenham in the Europa League final in Bilbao, United registered their worst-ever finish in the Premier League.
With nine wins, 11 draws and a record 18 defeats, the Red Devils ended the campaign in 15th, ahead of 16th-placed Wolves on goal difference alone.
That is four more losses than last season, with Rubn Amorim unable to improve the team's results after replacing Erik ten Hag back in November. Here, a closer look at all of United's Premier League defeats in 2024/25...
Brighton 2-1 Manchester United (August 2024)

Behind to a Danny Welbeck goal at the break, United levelled through Amad Diallo but later had an Alejandro Garnacho effort ruled out by VAR and ended up with nothing as Jo�o Pedro netted a 95th-minute winner for the Seagulls at the Amex.
Manchester United 0-3 Liverpool (September 2024)
Manchester United suffered an even more painful loss the following weekend as fierce rivals Liverpool ran out 3-0 winners at Old Trafford.

September ended for Manchester United just as it had begun for Erik ten Hag's side with a 3-0 Premier League defeat at Old Trafford.
After losing 3-0 to Liverpool at home on September 1st, United went down to Tottenham by the same scoreline on the 29th, with Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke netting the goals two of those after Bruno Fernandes was sent off late in the first half.
West Ham 2-1 Manchester United (October 2024)
After a goalless draw away to Aston Villa and a 2-1 home win over Brentford, Manchester United were beaten again at West Ham in late October.
Crysencio Summerville gave the Hammers the lead after 74 minutes and although Casemiro levelled later on, a Jarrod Bowen penalty in added time condemned the Red Devils to a fourth Premier League defeat of the season and Erik ten Hag was sacked the following day.
Arsenal 2-0 Manchester United (December 2024)
Under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, Manchester United drew 1-1 at home to Chelsea and beat Leicester City 3-0 at Old Trafford.
New head coach Rubn Amorim then oversaw a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town and a 4-0 win at home to Everton, but the defeats would soon come thick and fast for the new man. The first arrived at Arsenal in early December, with Justin Timber and William Saliba on target for the Gunners in the second half at the Emirates Stadium.

It was the Cherries' second successive 3-0 win at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
Wolves 2-0 Manchester United (December 2024)
Back in action after Christmas, Manchester United fell to the second of three consecutive defeats in a 2-0 loss against Wolves at Molineux on Boxing Day.

Manchester United 0-2 Newcastle United (December 2024)
Manchester United's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in late December was the third loss in a row in the Premier League for Rubn Amorim's side and a fifth in six games in the competition.

James Maddison's 13th-minute goal gave Tottenham a 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Premier League in January and a third victory against the Red Devils overall in 2024/25.
Maddison scored the rebound after Andr Onana had parried a Lucas Bergvall shot and Ange Postecoglou's side held on for a narrow win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs also beat United 4-3 in the League Cup in north London back in December and would go on to defeat the Red Devils a fourth time in the Europa League final in May.
