Alan Shearer has delivered a scathing assessment of Manchester United’s season in the domestic league, saying the team has failed at all levels.
The 2023/24 season came to an end on Sunday as Manchester City claimed an all-time record fourth consecutive Premier League title, while their neighbors struggled throughout to finish eighth – their lowest finish since the Premier’s inception League in 1992. .
United’s win against Brighton ensured they avoided the ignominy of recording the club’s lowest points total in the history of their competition. Yet they finished with a negative goal difference.

When comparing the team’s performance to last year, when they finished third and won the Carabao Cup, Shearer mentions the drop in points and goals conceded.
“I know they’ve had injuries too, but goals conceded, the worse off they are in points, games lost, it’s been a very, very bad season,” Alan Shearer said.
United achieved 15 points fewer than in the 2022-2023 Premier League season, scored almost the same number of goals and still conceded 15 more goals.
“They have been very poor in all departments.”
‘I know they have the FA Cup final next weekend, but in terms of competition it has been a real disaster.’
