Where Man United Stand: The Bigger Picture
Manchester United points today stand at 7, which is 17 behind leaders Arsenal and 14 behind Manchester City. The Manchester City Premier League challenge sits second on 21 points, so the gap between the two Manchester clubs is already larger than United’s entire points total.
The relegation picture is tight. Crystal Palace have the worst goal difference in the league at -12, which gives United a cushion on tie-breakers but not on points. Nottingham Forest are one point back on 6, and Sunderland prop up the table on 5. One bad weekend could send Manchester United FC into the bottom three.
The ten teams from 7th to 16th are separated by just four points, from Everton on 13 down to Fulham and Coventry on 9. A single win would lift United to 10 points and back into that pack. Two wins in a row could move them into mid-table.

UCL table current as of 4 November 2026, before Wednesday’s matchday 4 games. Several clubs around United, including Dortmund, have a game in hand, so the position can change tonight.
United trailed 2-0 inside 17 minutes after goals from Matías Soulé and Donyell Malen, and were still 2-0 down at half-time. They scored three times after the break, and BBC Sport reports that Matheus Cunha sealed the comeback. It ended a run of two straight Champions League defeats.
What 17th means in the new format
- 1st to 8th: straight into the round of 16.
- 9th to 24th: a two-legged knockout play-off. United are here now.
- 25th to 36th: eliminated, with no drop into the Europa League.
- Gap to the top eight: 2 points behind eighth-placed Bayern Munich (8).
The next Champions League game is away at Sporting CP on 25 November. Sporting are sixth on 9 points. For the full 36-team table, see our Champions League 2026-27 table page.
Older searches such as “man united champions league group standing” or “man united europa league group standings” refer to the old group format. UEFA replaced groups with a single league phase in 2024-25, so there are no United UCL group standings this season.
Manchester United Table 2026: How the Fall Happened
United started 2026-27 as a Champions League side. Carrick took over from Ruben Amorim in January 2026 and won 12, drew three and lost two of his 17 games in charge. That run lifted United to third with 71 points and earned Carrick a contract to June 2028.
This season has gone the other way. Nine games in, United have one league win, and the run of five games without one has put Carrick under pressure.

Man United Standings 2022-23, 2021-22 and Recent Seasons
Manchester United finished third in 2022-23 with 75 points and sixth in 2021-22 with 58 points, according to FBref and the Premier League’s archive. Here is how the Manchester United FC standings have moved since 2020:
| Season | Final position | Pld | W-D-L | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020-21 | 2nd | 38 | 21-11-6 | 74 |
| 2021-22 | 6th | 38 | 16-10-12 | 58 |
| 2022-23 | 3rd | 38 | 23-6-9 | 75 |
| 2023-24 | 8th | 38 | 18-6-14 | 60 |
| 2024-25 | 15th | 38 | 11-9-18 | 42 |
| 2025-26 | 3rd | 38 | 20-11-7 | 71 |
| 2026-27 (after 9) | 17th | 9 | 1-4-4 | 7 |
The pattern is a club swinging between top-three finishes and mid-table. In the 2021-22 season, Cristiano Ronaldo was the top scorer with 18 league goals but United still missed the top four. The 2022-23 side under Erik ten Hag returned to the Champions League.
