A look at the individual statistics from the 2024/25 Premier League season.
In his end of season speech at Old Trafford, head coach Ruben Amorim described a ‘disaster season’. He was not wrong.
The club finished in 15th place in the table and at one point sunk to 17th on the final day, also ending the season trophyless after losing the Europa League Final.
And while nobody would dispute the awful outcome of United’s season,in which the club managed just 42 points, and scored only 44 goals, there were some solid individual efforts.
