Man United have now gone an entire YEAR with no win in Europe… the stats that disgrace Erik ten Hag’s aspect after Fenerbahce draw
As Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw away to Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday night, Erik ten Hag‘s side chalked up an unwanted record.
It has now been a whole calendar year since United registered a victory in European football.
That success came on October 24, 2023, when United won 1-0 at home to Copenhagen in the Champions League.
On that occasion, Harry Maguire scored the only goal of the game in the 72nd minute, with Andre Onana saving a penalty from Jordan Larsson in stoppage time.
Since then, United have been unable to chalk up a victory, whether in the Champions League or the Europa League. Here’s a look at the statistics behind United’s woeful run.

The Red Devils are no doubt dreaming of replicating their last win against Copenhagen
Across those six games, United have been beaten twice and have drawn four matches.
Conceding goals has been a major problem for Ten Hag’s team in Europe, as evidenced by the fact that they have let in 13 goals in six matches.
United have managed to score eleven times in those six games but have still been unable to register a victory.
Ten Hag’s side are currently languishing in 21st place in the Europa League table and have work to do if they are to make it through to the next stage of the competition.
United are enduring their longest winless run in Europe since 1983. They will look to end that sequence on November 7 when they face PAOK at home.
Furthermore, United have just one win in their last eleven European games, which is something Ten Hag will surely have to rectify if he is to remain in charge.
United’s winless run in Europe commenced with the return game away to Copenhagen, which they lost 4-3.
That was followed by a 3-3 draw away to Galatasaray and a 1-0 loss at home to Bayern Munich.

This season has also been a struggle in Europe so far, encompassing draws against Twente, Porto and Fenerbahce.
After the 3-3 draw with Porto earlier this month, Maguire suggested that United have a ‘mental issue’ in Europe.
Maguire told TNT Sports: ‘It’s more of a mental issue I think, it’s about belief.
‘It’s something that we need to be aware of and make sure when we do concede that we stick together and regroup.’
