"They conceded six in losing at Manchester City in 2022 and suffered a record 7-0 hiding at Liverpool in March 2023. They were beaten 4-0 at Crystal Palace in May 2024 and it took late goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo to give the scoreline a respectable look when they were beaten 4-3 on their last visit to Brentford in May."
"This summer, United spent another 219.6m on four more players. Goalkeeper Senne Lammens had not arrived by that point but Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo who was one of Brentford's scorers in 2022 - and Benjamin Sesko were all involved when their club was beaten at League Two Grimsby in the EFL Cup in August. It was the first time United had ever lost to a fourth-tier side."
Following a 4-0 defeat at Brentford in August 2022, United spent over half a billion pounds on new players through to the end of the 2024-25 season. They finished the 2024-25 campaign in 15th place, their worst since 1973-74. The club won the EFL Cup and FA Cup and qualified for the Champions League, while also suffering heavy defeats including conceding six at Manchester City and a record 7-0 loss to Liverpool. Summer spending reached another 219.6m and United lost to League Two Grimsby in the EFL Cup for the first time. The team now seeks gradual recovery, aiming for successive league wins under Ruben Amorim.
