Manchester United had one of the worst seasons of their history, as they barely finished in sixth place. While that wasn’t close to their lowest finishes, it was the way in which they crumbled after signing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, and Raphael Varane.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked in the middle of the season and Ralf Rangnick was appointed on an interim basis to carry the mantle. However, he couldn’t do a better job as United finally stumbled across a season many of their fans would want to forget.
