Premier League Table Since Ruben Amorim Joined Man Utd Calculated

To say Ruben Amorim’s first 12 months in charge have been tumultuous would be a sheer understatement. From breaking a television, becoming a record-breaker – and not in a positive way – and losing the 2024/25 Europa League final, November 11 marks a year since the Portuguese tactician turned up to Carrington as Manchester United head coach.

He was replacing Erik ten Hag, who had lost the faith of the Old Trafford faithful on the back of inconsistencies and poor in-game changes – but it’s taken him an entire year to showcase signs of the club turning a corner. Though, the same question remains: have the club’s decision-makers, namely Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS-led team, made the right decision?

Many assumed the club would cut their losses after finishing 15th in the 2024/25 Premier League table, albeit 17 points above 18th-placed Leicester City, but the 40-year-old – widely regarded as one of the best young managers in world football – remained in, arguably, one of the most difficult jobs in world football.

2025/26, although it’s still in its infancy, is looking much brighter for Amorim and his entourage after a summer of lofty spending on Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and the like, but how would the Premier League table – from the table-topping Arsenal to mid-table dwellers – look if it just took into consideration all matches since the Portuguese’s appointment?

The Premier League Table Since Amorim’s Man Utd Appointment: 23-11

Southampton, thanks to their poor from start to finish in 2024/25, are widely regarded as one of the worst teams in Premier League history. Under the guidance of Russell Martin and Ivan Juric, the side from the south coast ultimately failed to produce on any front – and, in the 27 games since Amorim’s appointment, they picked up just eight points.

That’s two less than Scott Parker’s Burnley have managed to accrue in 16 fewer matches, having been promoted to the Premier League after finishing well in the Championship last term. Leeds United, too, are among the promoted sides that have fared in the promised land much better than Saints – the latter have picked up 11 points.

Ipswich Town and Leicester City, two sides who faced the sight of relegation after tricky seasons in the top flight, would be positioned in 20th and 19th, respectively.

Bucking the trend from recent seasons, Sunderland are absolutely flying under the watchful eye of Regis Le Bris – they’ve earned 19 points from 11 matches and have managed to finish higher than a trio of aforementioned sides, all of whom have racked up many more games in the Premier League in the allotted period.

In 37 matches, Wolverhampton Wanderers have bagged just 11 victories – and their lowly finish would largely be down to how poorly they’ve started 2025/26 under Vitor Pereira. Tottenham Hotspur are similar to United in terms of how last season went, as they finished poorly domestically but reached a European final.

Under Ange Postecoglou, they won Europe’s second-tier competition but, in the Premier League, things were less than impressive with just 11 wins and seven draws in 38 matches since Amorim tipped up at Old Trafford. Fellow London club West Ham United would’ve picked up the solitary extra point in the time period.

The man of the hour, Amorim’s side have struggled on many fronts – and that includes the Premier League. In 38 matches, the Red Devils have picked up 45 points, which is two fewer than Marco Silva’s Fulham in 13th, from 12 wins and nine draws. Everton and Brentford round off the bottom half of the Premier League table of the Amorim era on 53 points apiece.

Now competing in the Europa League after last season’s domestic exploits, Nottingham Forest have endured a tricky start to proceedings this time around – and that’s resulted in a change of manager twice. Looking to revive them is Sean Dyche and, since Amorim’s arrival on English shores, the Tricky Trees would be slap-bang in the middle of a 20-team table.

Ahead of them would be Brighton & Hove Albion – led by the youngest permanent manager in Premier League history, Fabian Hurzeler – and Bournemouth, who have been the top flight’s surprise package over the last couple of seasons. Players have come and gone for Andoni Iraola and his entourage but the Spaniard’s well-drilled outfit have ensured not to see their performances wane.

Similarly to Bournemouth, Crystal Palace are becoming the Premier League darlings. The Eagles – the remaining champions of the FA Cup after beating Manchester City at Wembley – have picked up the same number of wins and draws across this period (15) and have lost just seven times.

Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United are on the same points as Oliver Glasner’s side – 60 – but have more wins (18 compared to 15) over the 37-match period. Thanks to their 18 wins and nine draws, Aston Villa creep into the top five with 63 points and are the singular point behind Manchester City, who are the only team to win four Premier League titles in a row.

Missing out on the top spot are Chelsea and Liverpool, who would be ranked in third and second, respectively. The latter are the current defending champions of England’s top flight, of course, but their hodgepodge start to the 2025/26 campaign – with their summer additions struggling to gel – have seen them lose double the number of games than table-topping Arsenal.

The Gunners, despite coming second in back-to-back-to-back seasons in the Premier League, have always been there or thereabouts in discussions about who will win the title – and that’s evidenced by their position at the top of this table. Mikel Arteta’s men have won the joint-most matches in the time period in question and that’s resulted in a points haul of 78.
