Manchester United lost 0-1 in the 25th round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Tottenham in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 17th (Korea time) by dedicating the first goal to James Madison in the 13th minute of the first half.
Manchester United, which lost 0-3 at home to Tottenham on September 30 last year, lost two consecutive scoreless matches this season. Including the League Cup, it is the third consecutive victory.
It has been 35 years since the 1989-1990 season before the launch of the EPL in 1992.
At that time, Tottenham won 1-0 and 2-1 with Gary Lineker and Paul Gascoigne leading 'Legend'. Tottenham was third and Manchester United was 13th in the final ranking.
Since the 1989-1990 season, Manchester United has never allowed Tottenham 's 'sweep' until the 2023-2024 season.

During this period, he met 14 times in the league with Tottenham and recorded 10 wins and 4 losses. Coincidentally, Park Ji-sung lost his first game to the Queens Park Rangers in 2012 with a score of 2 to 3, ending the 11-year-old unbeaten jinx against Tottenham.
The humiliating situation that Park Ji-sung had not experienced during his playing days has now become a daily routine. After beating Tottenham 2-0 at home in October 2022, Manchester United has recorded six consecutive wins (two draws and four losses) against Tottenham, including the Cup.
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min made a 2-2 draw with a dramatic equalizer in the 34th minute of the second half in the league's home showdown in April 2023 and scored the winning goal in the 43rd minute of the second half in the Carabao Cup last December.
Manchester United is falling without wings under Ruben Amorim, who was appointed as a 'firefighter' in November last year. Manchester United, which has lost eight of its last 12 games, including a loss to Tottenham, has fallen to 15th place with 29 points. It is 12 points behind Ipswich (17 points), which is ranked 18th in the relegation zone.

On the BBC, "I'm here to help my players. I'm worried about the league ranking, but I'm not worried about myself."
Former United defender Gary Neville has criticised the team for showing no signs of improvement since replacing Erik tenhach and appointing Amorim.
Neville told Sky Sports that `Clubs have to be patient, but performance levels have to be higher"The best thing about Amorim's time in charge was his inauguration press conference. This team is really terrible."
