Man United ended 2024 with their worst points tally in a calendar year in the Premier League and the club's lowest points tally since 1989. Statistically, the Red Devils only won 51 points from January to December 2024.
Head coach Ruben Amorim, who replaced the sacked Erik ten Hag in November, has won four and lost six of his 11 games in charge in all competitions, with United now closer to the Premier League relegation zone, both in points and position, than the Champions League qualification places.
United's six defeats in all competitions in December were their most since September 1930; they conceded 18 goals in the month, equalling their most since March 1964.
Man United's total points tally for the calendar year is their lowest since the Premier League's inception in the 1992-93 season.
The club's previous low was set in 2022 when United recorded 59 points in a 12-month period - the first time the team had failed to gain at least 60 points in a Premier League year.
United's current form mirrors the form Sir Alex Ferguson's side showed in 1989, when they picked up just 50 points in 12 months that year.
In December 1989, Man United fans called for Ferguson to be sacked, with supporters holding banners at Old Trafford urging him to leave his post.
Six months later, Ferguson won his first major trophy for the club by lifting the FA Cup.
Man United, the team will face the top team Liverpool at Anfield in the upcoming round with many challenges.
At the top level of English football, Man United have lost five games in a month for the first time since 1962. The defeat to Newcastle was also the first time the team has lost three consecutive home games since 1979.
