Manchester United to Play Fewest Games in 110 Years

Published January 12, 2026, 11:29

Manchester United will play just 40 games this season, the fewest in 110 years. This is due to the team's elimination from European competitions, the League Cup, and the FA Cup. The last time the team had so few games was in the 1914/15 season, when the First World War disrupted the FA Cup. The FA Cup elimination came after a defeat to Brighton, while they were knocked out of the League Cup by Grimsby.
