The 2024–25 season was the 138th season in the history of Manchester United, the club's 33rd in the Premier League, and their 50th consecutive—and 100th overall—season in the top flight of English football. The club competed in the Premier League, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, the UEFA Europa League, and the FA Community Shield. It marked the first full season since 2004–05 in which the Glazer family did not oversee football operations, following the sale of a 27.7% stake to Sir Jim Ratcliffe in February 2024.
Erik ten Hag began the campaign in his third year as manager, but was dismissed in October following a poor start to the season. Former United striker and assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy assumed interim charge before Rúben Amorim was appointed as head coach on 11 November, following his departure from Sporting CP.
The season was widely regarded as one of the worst in the club's modern history. United finished 15th in the Premier League with 42 points—their lowest league position since 1989–90 and fewest points in a top-flight season since they were last relegated in 1973–74. In domestic cup competitions, their defence of the FA Cup ended in the fifth round with a penalty shootout defeat at home to Fulham, while they were eliminated from the EFL Cup in the quarter-finals after a 4–3 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. United reached the final of the UEFA Europa League, but were beaten 1–0 by Tottenham at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao. As a result, they failed to qualify for European competition for the first time since the 2013–14 season (and only the second time since 1989-90). It was the club's first trophyless campaign since 2021–22.
