Manchester United's best Premier League seasons have been ranked, highlighting the club's 13-title dominance. The analysis covers the most successful eras under Sir Alex Ferguson, from the first title to the historic Treble.
As of September 2, 2026, United sit 10th in the Premier League with three points from two games. Their recent form reads WL, having scored five goals and conceded four. They are three points behind leaders Manchester City and face a trip to seventh-placed Everton on September 6, a fixture detailed on our fixtures page.
The 1998-99 campaign stands alone as the club's greatest achievement. Manchester United completed an unprecedented Treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League. They secured the league title with a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on the final day. A victory over Newcastle United at Wembley sealed the FA Cup. The season was capped by a dramatic comeback against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final. Manchester City became only the second English club to match this feat in the 2022-23 season.
The 2007-08 season delivered another European crown alongside domestic success. United won both the Premier League and the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo was the driving force, scoring 31 league goals and 42 in all competitions. His performances earned him the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards. That season built on a strong 2006-07 foundation where United won the league, reached the Champions League semifinals, and were FA Cup runners-up. Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo each netted 23 Premier League goals that year, with the team scoring 123 goals across all competitions.
United's first Premier League title in 1992-93 under Ferguson broke a 26-year wait. The following 1993-94 season saw the club complete a domestic double, adding the FA Cup. They recorded 92 points that year, a record for the highest total under the three-points-for-a-win system. Eric Cantona scored a career-best 18 league goals, with Ryan Giggs and Roy Keane also key. The famed Class of '92, including David Beckham, Paul Scholes, and Gary Neville, began to emerge. Later world-class additions like Ruud van Nistelrooy and Jaap Stam fortified the squad.
The 1999-2000 season showcased devastating attacking play. United set a club record for goals scored in a Premier League season and became the first team to reach 90 points in a 38-game campaign. They ended the season with 11 consecutive victories and scored at least three goals in nine matches. The strike partnership of Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole contributed 46 goals across all competitions. This relentless form cemented their status as England's dominant force. Fans can track the current squad's offensive output on our stats page.
