Current Season (2026-27)

Man United are 12th in the Premier League after 5 matches: 1 won, 2 drawn, 2 lost, 5 points. That is mid-table: not chasing Europe, not in danger of relegation.

Last Season (2025-26)

Man United finished 3rd in the Premier League with 71 points from 38 matches: 20 won, 11 drawn, 7 lost. That is inside the places that qualify for the Champions League, which is the competition every club in Europe is trying to reach.

What to know before you follow them

United supporters carry the memory of two decades of titles and a long stretch without them. The rivalry with Liverpool is bitter, and the ownership has been a running argument among fans for years.

What people sing

  • Glory Glory Man United

    The club anthem. Simple, loud, and still the default when Old Trafford wants to push the team.

  • Take Me Home, United Road

    A terrace song about the journey to the ground. You will hear it away days as much as at home.

Who the rivals are

  • Liverpool

    The fiercest rivalry in English football. History, titles, and two cities that do not like being compared.

  • Manchester City

    The Manchester derby. Once a mismatch, now a genuine fight for the city.

Following them from America

Still among the largest American followings of any European club, built during the Premier League's first boom on U.S. television.
