The absolutely shocking Premier League table since Man Utd appointed Ruben Amorim

Manchester United have accumulated fewer points than Crystal Palace, West Ham, Everton and Brentford since Ruben Amorim took charge in November 2024.

Amorim replaced the sacked Erik ten Hag and his success with Sporting Lisbon allowed United supporters to believe they’d appointed a manager who would bring the good times back to Old Trafford.

At the same time, few of the United faithful believed such a change would be instant with an underperforming squad. That assumption would prove to be wise.

Amorim opened up with a 1-1 draw at Ipswich and has recorded victories over Everton and, thrillingly, Manchester City thanks to Amad Diallo’s late heroics.

But United have lost more than half of Amorim’s first 25 Premier League games at the helm. They’ve won just six league matches and are averaging less than a point per game – in other words, relegation form in other seasons gone by.

And to make matters worse, six of those defeats have been at Old Trafford – with their 2-0 loss to fellow strugglers West Ham United the latest indignity suffered.

It is worth pointing out, though, that their particularly poor run of form in the league of late has coincided with their run to the Europa League final. United’s performances and results on the European stage have been in stark contrast to their domestic displays.

Former United captain Roy Keane has not been impressed with the manner in which their league form has collapsed – with this their worst placing and points total of the Premier League era now a certainty.

“(I’m just fed up at) how bad they are,” Keane added. “They’re getting on my nerves, they keep talking about a big game next week, they’re not even trying,” Keane said on a recent appearance on Stick To Football.

“A couple of weeks ago at Newcastle they said ‘we couldn’t focus because we’ve got Lyon coming up’ so they keep writing these matches off.

“I understand it’s a big game, so you just dismiss these league matches? They’re a disgrace, an absolute disgrace.”

Amorim himself concurs that United’s league results should be better than they have been.

“We are trying to do our best, but I agree we can do better,” Amorim told reporters ahead of the West Ham clash.

“I don’t have anything to say about the criticism, because we deserve it. If we cannot accept everything in this kind of season, I think we are in the wrong business. I fully acknowledge that and I agree with all the critics.

“We have to be smart and we have to take a risk. We have to take the risk to get a lot of criticism from everybody, because the standards of Roy Keane and all these guys are really high. But I have to make a choice.”

Their Europa League final opponents Tottenham, as well as the already relegated, long cut-adrift trio are the only clubs to have accumulated fewer points than the Red Devils since Amorim first took charge back in November.
