Still reeling from their Europa League final defeat on Wednesday, United are aiming to avoid four league defeats in a row in the same season for the first time since February 1979 as they host Aston Villa.
Their previous worst points tally in the Premier League was 58 - they are on 39 ahead of this afternoon's match.

United fly to Asia tonight
Manchester United's squad will head to the airport immediately after their Premier League campaign is concluded and fly out on post-season tour to Asia tonight.
Squads at other clubs will be looking forward to spending time with their family but United have a game in Kuala Lumpur against ASEAN All Stars on Wednesday, followed by a game in Hong Kong. This has the feeling of getting a detention on the final day of term.

Tuesday's briefing: Chelsea assist for new boy Liam Delap as WSL looks to expand
Bournemouth delved into Ligue 1 to bolster their defensive options, while Gareth Bale became the latest big name to be linked to investment in a Championship club. Meanwhile, the women's game is set for a new look from the end of next season with the WSL poised to expand to 14 teams. Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez were on target as Chelsea started their Club World Cup campaign with a 2-0 victory over LAFC in front of a stadium which was less than a third full in Atlanta. Only 22,137 fans were in attendance to watch Enzo Maresca's side claim the first three points of their campaign. The few who turned up saw Neto open Chelsea's account just after the half-hour mark to give the Blues a well-deserved lead heading into the half-time break, before £30million summer signing Delap supplied fellow substitute Fernandez with the second to seal victory, 11 minutes from time. Delap said on Channel 5: 'It's a really happy feeling for me. I'm so excited to be here and to play my first game and be able to contribute is a good feeling. 'The team have welcomed me really well. I have only had a few sessions here but I am excited for more.' Truffert joins Cherries He's Chez 🍒💪 — AFC Bournemouth 🍒 (@afcbournemouth) June 16, 2025 Bournemouth have signed France left-back Adrien Truffert from Rennes. The 23-year-old, who captained the Ligue 1 side, has agreed a five-year contract at Vitality Stadium. His arrival looks set to pave the way for Cherries left-back Milos Kerkez – who has been linked with Premier League champions Liverpool – to leave the club. 'It's a dream for any player to play in the Premier League,' Truffert told Bournemouth's website. 'It's one of the best and most competitive leagues in the world. I'm looking forward to testing myself at this level, facing top players every week and helping the team achieve great things.' Bale shows interest in Plymouth Bale is part of a United States investment group in talks over a buyout of League One club Plymouth. The Telegraph were first to report that the 35-year-old former Real Madrid and Wales forward was part of the group seeking to buy Argyle. The PA news agency understands the group featuring Bale has registered an interest in buying Plymouth, but the process is at a very early stage. Should the deal go through, Bale would be the latest big sporting name to be associated with an EFL club. WSL expansion voted through The Women's Super League is set expand to 14 teams from the start of the 2026-27 season, with a promotion and relegation play-off to be introduced. A proposal put forward by Nikki Doucet, chief executive of Women's Professional Leagues Limited, was voted through at Monday's WSL Football shareholders meeting. It requires the approval of the Football Association board but, if it gets the green light, 14 teams will compete in the women's top flight from next year. It means the 2025-26 WSL campaign will conclude with a relegation/promotion play-off. Doucet said: 'Our priority was to find a route that would benefit the whole women's game pyramid and we believe this next evolution of women's professional football will raise minimum standards, create distinction and incentivise investment across the board.' What's on today? Borussia Dortmund get their Club World Cup campaign underway against Brazilian side Fluminense. At the UEFA Under-21 Championship, 2023 runners-up Spain face Italy for the right to finish top of Group A.
