When Ruben Amorim arrived during the November international break in 2024 he inherited a club used to change. Questions about his suitability have been persistent, and Marcus Rashford urged the club to \u201cstick to a plan after relentless turnover in recent years.\u201d The manager\u2019s preferred 3-4-2-1 has endured scrutiny, yet United reached a level of competence in 2025\u201326 while results on the pitch remain inconsistent.<\/p>\n
A snapshot of the Premier League since Amorim\u2019s debut makes the picture clear. Arsenal lead the period with 81 points from 38 matches, followed by Liverpool on 74 and Manchester City on 70, with Chelsea also on 70. Aston Villa (66) and Crystal Palace (63) sit above Newcastle (60), Bournemouth (59) and Brighton (58). Brentford (56), Nottingham Forest (55) and Everton (53) complete the upper half of that list. Fulham are on 47 and Manchester United sit 14th with 45 points from 38 games.<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s point took United to 45 over that span. That return is the 14th most in the top flight since the manager\u2019s debut and is only marginally better than the 42 points recorded during the troubled 2024\u201325 campaign, a season in which Erik ten Hag had overseen the first nine matches.<\/p>\n
Amorim\u2019s record reads 12 victories from 38 league games, including three consecutive wins in October. The 31.6% win rate is the poorest for a Manchester United manager since the Premier League began; by comparison Ten Hag won 51.8% of his Premier League matches for the club.<\/p>\n
Excluding teams that were relegated or newly promoted in that period, only West Ham (41), Tottenham (40) and Wolves (38) have registered fewer points than United. United and Spurs are level on 18 points in the 2025\u201326 table, and Wolves remain without a win through 11 matches of the new season.<\/p>\n
At the other extreme, Arsenal have lost just three times and amassed 81 points since Amorim\u2019s arrival. By coincidence Leicester also recorded 81 points in their title-winning campaign a decade ago, the sixth-fewest total for a Premier League champion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
