Despite their longstanding dominance, things haven’t been always plain sailing for them too in their history.
Manchester United’s biggest loss across all competitions
Manchester United are currently one of the biggest club’s in England and the world with 20 league titles to their name and countless other trophies. However, things have taken a bad turn in recent years, more particularly after their former coach Sir Alex Ferguson retired.
A fine example of that was their recent 7-0 loss to Liverpool, which was their biggest loss across all competitions ever since the club’s founding in 1878. The club have lost by that scoreline on four occasions, with the most recent loss coming at the hands of their longstanding rivals Liverpool on March 5, 2023 in the Premier League.
Given below is a list of the other three occasions where Manchester United lost 7-0:
- Against Blackburn Rovers on 10 April 1926
- Against Aston Villa on 27 December 1930
- Against Wolverhampton on Boxing Day, 1931
All of the above defeats have all come away from home.
Manchester United suffers 7-0 defeat from Liverpool
The recent shock defeat at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield was United’s biggest loss in the Premier League era. It was also the Red Devils’ worst result in over 92 years. Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo all scored twice each before the end of the first half. Roberto Firmino scored the seventh goal after coming on from the bench.
Manchester United’s biggest win in club history
Besides their biggest loss, Manchester United’s biggest win was a 10-0 victory. The Red Devils recorded that scoreline at home during a European Cup first round second leg clash against Belgian club Anderlecht back in September 26, 1956.
