The 2025–26 season is the 139th season in the history of Manchester United, their 34th season in the Premier League and their 51st consecutive and 101st overall season in the top flight of English football. The club is competing in the Premier League and competed in the FA Cup and EFL Cup, but not in European competitions for the first time since 2014–15.
With the retirement of Jonny Evans, United are without a Premier League winner in their squad for the first time since the competition's inaugural season in the 1992–93 season, and without a player who had played under Sir Alex Ferguson for the first time since 1974.
Ruben Amorim began the campaign in his second year as head coach but was dismissed in January, after fewer than 14 months in charge. Former United midfielder and under-18s manager Darren Fletcher assumed interim charge. Another former United midfielder, Michael Carrick, was then appointed head coach for the remainder of the season. He became the first United manager, permanent or caretaker, to return to the club since Matt Busby in 1970, having managed the club in three matches in 2021.
As United were eliminated in their first match of both cup competitions for the first time since 1981–82, they are set to play 40 competitive matches this season, the fewest since 1914–15, when they played 39.
