Man Utd hit unwanted Sir Alex Ferguson milestone that sums up how bad things have got since his retirement

MANCHESTER UNITED hit another embarrassing milestone after their 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Tuesday night marked Man Utd's 114th defeat in the Premier League since legendary manager left the club on a high in 2013.

That's the SAME amount of defeats that Ferguson suffered across his entire 21-year career in the competition.

Fergie lost 114 of his 810 Premier League games as Man Utd manager.

While the ten coaches (including caretakers) since have totalled 114 losses in just 448 matches – which is nearly half the time!

Those defeats have mostly come across the reigns of , , , Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Erik ten Hag and current boss Ruben Amorim.

While the interim coaches including, , Michael Carrick, Ralf Rangnick and have been included in that stat.

Ferguson won 528 league games and drew 168 on his way to 13 titles.

And Man Utd – who sit 13th in the table – have collected 786 points from their 448 Prem games under the gaffers since the great Scot retired.

That's 209 fewer than rivals Manchester City (995) and also behind , Arsenal, and Tottenham.

That total is already their second highest in a singlePrem campaign.

And with eight games still to play, there’s a strong chance United will break their current record of 14, which was only set under last term.

has won just 22 points from 19 top-flight matches and has suffered more defeats (nine) than wins (six).

Those results mean that the 40-year-old currently has the worst record of any Man Utd manager in the Premier League era.

The Portuguese gaffer currently has both the lowest win rate at 31.6 per cent and points-per-game average (1.16) of any previous manager.

Unless United win all of their remaining Prem games – which looks a stretch considering they’re yet to win back-to-back fixtures since May 2024 – this will be their worst ever points tally, outdoing the mere 60 won under Ten Hag last season.

They still need to win 11 points from now until the final day to equal 1989-90’s 48-point tally, which was the last season they won fewer than 50 points.

That term was also the last that they finished outside the top half in the division in 13th.

But 1989-90 was also Ferguson's FOURTH season in charge in the old First Division.

So the iconic manager was given time – something not so readily bestowed for those at the helm in the current game.

Fergie did end the club's 26-year wait for a top-flight title just two years later in the inaugural Prem season of 1992/93.

But never mind since Ferguson, United are marching towards their worst league finish since they were relegated from the First Division 31 seasons ago.
