United enjoyed an unprecedented 25-game unbeaten streak in the league. Following the humiliating 4-0 loss to eventual champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, they won 13 and drew 12 games.
There is a possibility that you have already read the following statement in several memes across social media – during their unbeaten streak, United managed to move from sixth to sixth in the league table.
Yes, they were solid in defence, not conceding more than one goal in any of those 25 matches. But they failed to kill games (especially, at Old Trafford) and in the process, lost valuable points. Such was the frustration following the home draw against Bournemouth, even Mourinho lashed out in public.
"If you look at the points we lost at home, if you accumulate these points, you are talking about 10 or 12. With these points we are not just speaking about the top four, we would be speaking about the top two or top one. We lost too many points at home and that obviously cost us our position.”
His words sum up the season in the best way possible.
