#2 A Mourinho-led team finishing outside the top 3
Having coached the likes of Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid earlier in his career, a Jose Mourinho led team finished outside the top 3 for the first time ever.
Despite winning 2 trophies and gaining an indirect entry into the Champions League, nothing could mask the poor displays in the league. The hectic fixture list coupled with their run to the Europa League final showed that they lacked squad depth and hence, Manchester United have been pretty much active in the transfer window to reinforce their squad and plug in as many holes as they can to garner better results in the upcoming season.
Injuries to key players also proved to be a crucial factor for their dismal performances in the league.
