The Red Devils may have finished in their worst-ever Premier League position last season, but a club legend still believes there is more to come next season
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has made a bold prediction about the Red Devils’ 2025/26 season.
Despite already coming off a disappointing fifteenth-place finish, the legendary Dutchman believes the Red Devils can do the unthinkable next season.
Van der Sar’s bold faith in United’s revival
Despite United enduring their worst-ever Premier League finish last term, Van der Sar has expressed unwavering confidence in their ability to mount a miraculous comeback under new boss Ruben Amorim.

His statement, made during a recent media appearance, sent shockwaves across pundit circles who regard the upcoming season as one of the most competitive yet.
While top contenders like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool are better equipped on paper, Van der Sar’s optimism stems from the belief that the Red Devils’ youthful core and revamped tactical system under Amorim could surprise everyone.
With the club also chasing signings like Bryan Mbeumo, having already captured Matheus Cunha, many fans will see reason with Van der Sar, although most will still be filled with doubt.
Ex-goalkeeper tips Manchester United for unprecedented league win
No team in Premier League history has gone from finishing 15th to 1st in a single campaign. Even Leicester’s fairy-tale win came after a 14th-place finish.

Still, the Dutchman’s remarks suggest he sees a spark, a revival of the United DNA that he once embodied between the sticks.
Despite van der Sar’s optimism, the reality is stark as Manchester United face a mountain of competition from emerging forces like Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Chelsea, all of whom are strengthening aggressively.
Still, football has never been short of surprises, and if Amorim can turn United’s fortunes around and lead them to the title, it would go down as the most stunning turnaround in Premier League history.
