Manchester United's 20 Worst Premier League Defeats

This Sunday sees the 18th anniversary of one of Manchester United's darkest days in the Premier League.


Until their recent struggles under David Moyes, the Red Devils were used to being the masters of all that they surveyed in the division, but that wasn't the case when they went to The Dell to take on Southampton on 26th October 1996.


Six months after another high-profile defeat to the Saints at their tight, tough-to-negotiate home ground, Ferguson's men lost a chaotic game 6-3, a defeat that came just six days after they were beaten 5-0 by Newcastle United at St James's Park.


At the time there was talk of a crisis at Old Trafford, but we all know how Ferguson recovered and continued to build a dynasty at one of the institutions of English football.


All teams have their bad days, though, and it is time to remember some of United's.


Here are 20 of the Red Devils' worst Premier League defeats.
