Unbelievably, "Manchester United" has set a negative record in its 111-year history after losing 1-2 at home to "Brighton & Hove Albion" in the 2025-26 FA Cup.
On 12 Jan 2026 GMT+7, it was truly unbelievable when "The Red Devils," Manchester United, a renowned Premier League club under interim manager Darren Fletcher, set a negative record in their 111-year history after losing 1-2 at home to "The Seagulls," Brighton & Hove Albion, in the third round of the 2025-26 FA Cup last night.
This defeat led the red giants from Manchester to an unfortunate record in the club's history, having played only 40 matches: 38 matches in the 2025-26 Premier League season and 1 match in the 2025-26 Carabao Cup. In the Carabao Cup, they drew 2-2 against Grimsby Town from League Two in regular time but lost 11-12 on penalties. This marked the ninth time in history the team was eliminated at this stage.
Following that, in the 2025-26 FA Cup, they played one match and lost 1-2 to "The Seagulls," Brighton & Hove Albion. Combined with the 38 Premier League matches and 1 Carabao Cup match, Manchester United, not participating in European competitions this season, played a total of only 40 matches in 2025-26, the fewest in the club’s 111-year history.
