After a bit of a false start in which they only won 2 of their first 6 games, Manchester United’s 2020/21 season would see them comfortably finish 2nd in the Premier League, with 0-0 draws being something of a thorn in their side – they got 7 of them. Still, this was their joint highest finish since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
Manchester City once again knocked them out of the EFL Cup in the semi final, and they could only make it to the Quarter final of the FA Cup before Leicester sent them packing in a 3-1 defeat. The Champions League campaign was rather depressing, as the Red Devils couldn’t even make it out of the group stage.
They did, however, transfer to the Europa League, and made it all the way through to the final, beating the likes of AC Milan and Roma along the way. After a 1-1 draw after extra time in the final though, Villareal took the trophy on penalties.
