On the night of May 25, Man United hosted Aston Villa 2-0 in round 38 of the Premier League. This was also the final match of the 2024-2025 Premier League season.
Emiliano Martinez of the away team was sent off at the end of the first half after a foul inside the penalty area. Taking advantage of the advantage of having more players, Man United scored two goals from Amad Diallo and Christian Eriksen, thereby defeating Aston Villa to win 2-0.
Despite winning the final match, the Old Trafford team still ended the season with a poor performance. They finished in 15th place, with 42 points after 38 rounds.
This is the worst performance in the 33 years of participating in the Premier League of the “Red Devils”. Previously, in the 2021-2022 season, under coach Erik ten Hag, Man United finished with 58 points – the lowest score in history up to that point.
In addition, the 2024-2025 season witnessed a lot of discontent from fans, even protests against the club’s leadership. In addition, hundreds of people lost their jobs due to billionaire Jim Ratcliffe’s cost-cutting campaign.
“First of all, I want to apologise to the fans for this season. I know you are disappointed in me and the team. I also want to thank the fans for their support throughout the season.
I know it was difficult to support us in many games. But now, we have a choice, either to stay stuck in the past, because this season is over, or to fight each other, or to unite and move forward.
Six months ago, after three games with two wins and a draw, I told you that ‘the storm is coming’. But today, after this disastrous season, I want to tell you that good days are coming,” said head coach Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford after the win over Aston Villa.
The Man United captain believes that the team can overcome any situation and any disaster. Finally, the 1985-born coach thanked the fans and promised to meet them again next season.
Meanwhile, captain Bruno Fernandes shared: “I am a very lucky person to be living the dream at one of the best clubs in the world, in the world’s top tournament. What more could I ask for?
I just need to give my all for my teammates, for myself, for the fans and for all those who have accompanied me throughout the past time. That’s enough.”
