How did Manchester United come to this point.

Manchester United are in fear of relegation for the first time in 51 years. Manchester United lost 0-1 to Tottenham in the 25th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 17th (Korea time).

Manchester United's living legend Alex Ferguson helped the team to the away game, but there was no rebound. Manchester United, which had 29 points, fell to 15th place. Tottenham, who scored 30 points, moved up from 14th to 12th.




Manchester United has 12 losses (8 wins and 5 draws) in 25 EPL matches. He suffered the most defeats in his first 25 games since losing 13 in the 1973-1974 season. At that time, Manchester United was relegated to the second division, but they are worried about the second division for the first time in 51 years this season.

Manchester United has only won three games, drawn one and lost eight in the last 12 games. Only Leicester City (9 losses), ranked 19th, and Southampton (10 losses), ranked 20th, have more losses than Manchester United during this period.

Manchester United has only 12 points difference from Ipswich Town (17 points), which is ranked 18th in the relegation zone. Between them are West Ham (27 points) and Wolverhampton (19 points).

This season, the EPL has 13 rounds left.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand expressed concern that there was no game to win except for one game in the remaining games. "Only Wolverhampton and West Ham are separating our club from the relegation zone," he said on his YouTube channel. "Do you know we are so close to the relegation zone?" he said after asking "Someone says we need 11 points to stay."I opened the door.

Ferdinand added "The schedule for the game is as follows. It is away to Everton, home to Ipswich, away to Arsenal and away to Leicester City and Nottingham Forest. After bringing Manchester City home, he leaves for Newcastle. Then he will face Wolverhampton, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Aston Villa, etc. "In my opinion, Leicester City is the only place we can get something. I can't say it's a victory, but it's a gloomy prospect."




He doesn't see the last "win. That's the problem." Manchester United replaced Erik ten Hag in October last year and appointed Ruben Amorim. However, coach Amorim is also not an alternative.

Meanwhile, Manchester United suffered a 's sweep defeat' by Tottenham the day before. It has been 35 years since the 1989-1990 season. Manchester United shed tears on the road following a 0-3 defeat by Tottenham at home on September 30 last year. Including the 3-4 Carabao Cup defeat, he has lost all three meetings with Tottenham this season.
