Most fans of English football would agree that Manchester United has seen its fair share of highs and lows since the inception of the Premiership in 1992. In this article, we will take a closer look at some of the major achievements and challenges that Manchester United has encountered over the years.
Highs
Manchester United has been incredibly successful in the Premiership, lifting the trophy a staggering eight times in just twelve seasons. One particular high was in the inaugural Premiership season when they clinched the title. They have also achieved the prestigious Premiership and F.A. Cup ‘double’ three times, in 1994, 1996, and 1999.

When it comes to performance, Manchester United stands out. They have won more Premiership games, collected more points, and suffered fewer defeats than any other team in the league. Not only that, but they have also scored the highest number of goals overall since the Premiership’s beginning. In fact, they hold the record for the most goals scored in a single season, with an impressive 97 goals during the 1999-2000 campaign. Additionally, Manchester United holds the record for the highest number of goals in a Premiership game, scoring nine against Ipswich in March 1995, with Andy Cole netting five of those goals.
Lows
Despite their numerous highs, Manchester United has also faced some challenges along the way. One notable low occurred at the end of the 2003-2004 season when they finished outside of the top two, a full fifteen points behind the winners, Arsenal. This season also saw Manchester United equal their lowest ever points total.

Another significant low was Frenchman Eric Cantona’s infamous flying kung fu attack on a fan during a match against Crystal Palace in 1995. Cantona’s suspension, which followed the incident, is widely believed to be a major factor in United losing the title that season to Blackburn Rovers.
In 2003, Manchester United experienced two major lows. Firstly, David Beckham’s departure to join Real Madrid left a void in the team that was difficult to fill. While the £25 million transfer fee benefited the club financially, finding a suitable replacement for Beckham proved to be a challenge.
The second low came in the form of defender Rio Ferdinand’s ban for eight months due to missing a routine drugs test. Ferdinand was a record £30 million signing from Leeds United, and his absence had a significant impact on Manchester United’s performance during that period.
Conclusion
Manchester United’s journey in the Premiership has been a mix of highs and lows. Their record-breaking achievements, such as winning the league title multiple times and scoring an incredible number of goals, have solidified their status as one of the most successful clubs in English football.
