MANCHESTER UNITED hit another new low as they set an unwanted Premier League record.
It’s the first time in the Prem era United have gone two seasons in a row without having a player in the PFA Team of the Year.

In a season full of unwanted records that saw them finish in an unprecedented eighth in the Prem, the Red Devils have added yet another bad omen.
While the red side of Manchester has been subject to a downward spiral since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, players have still managed to often sneak into the Team of the Year XI.
Of course, years have come where no United player has featured in the star-studded XI, but it’s never happened for TWO consecutive seasons.
Cristiano Ronaldo – who returned for his second spell in 2021 – was the last Old Trafford player to make the top line-up in 2021/22.
While Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw made the 2020/21 XI after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finished second behind Manchester City.
Paul Pogba made the XI in 2019 – even though United finished sixth.
David de Gea was often their saving grace, featuring as the No1 goalkeeper for four consecutive years between 2015-2018.
This time round the PFA Team of the Year features five Arsenal players and four City stars.
