Unwanted records tumble as Manchester United season hits new low with Brighton thrashing

Manchester United's current squad on Saturday went down in history for all the wrong reasons as defeat at Brighton saw their season hit a new low.

A 4-0 humbling on the south coast, against a team who had previously scored just 12 goals at home all season, has condemned United to their worst ever points total in Premier League history. United can only hit 61 points, their lowest possible total since 1990 (48 points) and 1991 (51 points).

A second-half flurry from Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard means United also conceded the most goals of any Premier League campaign. David de Gea has seen 45 goals fly past him with one game still to play.

Another record gone is most losses and fewest wins in a season now confirmed. United have left empty-handed a staggering 11 times already and recorded just 16 wins from 37 games.

As it stands going into their final game of the season against Crystal Palace, United have conceded 56 and have a goal difference of minus one. Graham Potter's side inflicted a sixth defeat for Rangnick since he took charge last year.
