When did Manchester United last win a trophy?

Manchester United last won the Europa League in May 2017.

Jose Mourinho led the team to a 2-0 victory over Ajax in the final, with goals from Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan sealing the triumph in Stockholm.

United, Ajax, Juventus, Bayern Munich, and Juventus are the only clubs to have won all three major European trophies (European Cup/Champions League, UEFA Cup/Europa League, and Cup Winners’ Cup).

Their victory in Sweden qualified them for the UEFA Super Cup later that year, but they were defeated 2-1 by Real Madrid in North Macedonia.

It also ensured that they qualified for the Champions League the following season despite finishing sixth in the Premier League.

United defeated Southampton 3-2 at Wembley to win the Carabao Cup three months before winning the Europa League.

At the opening of the season, the club won the Community Shield, allowing fans to gloat about winning ‘a treble’.

The Red Devils have not won the Premier League since 2013 under Sir Alex Ferguson, and they have not won the Champions League since 2008.

Which trophies have Manchester United won?

Under Ferguson, United established themselves as the dominant force in English football, winning 20 Premier League titles to Liverpool’s 19 in domestic terms.

United is the second-most successful club in FA Cup history, having won the legendary old cup 12 times, trailing only Arsenal (14).

However, neither competition has been kind to United in recent years, with their last Premier League triumph coming in 2012/13 and their most recent FA Cup victory coming in 2015/16 under Louis van Gaal.

United’s EFL Cup record places them third all-time after Liverpool and Manchester City, with their most recent victory coming in 2016/17 under Mourinho.

In Europe, United’s treble success in 1998/1999 included becoming European champions for the first time since 1967/68, until Ferguson’s team won it again in the Moscow rain in 2007/08.

Mourinho’s Europa League victory marked United’s first European final berth since Moscow in 2007/08. In reality, the Portuguese coach led the Red Devils to their lone win in their last four European showpieces, having previously lost to Barcelona (twice) and Villarreal.

The Red Devils have had some success in other international events throughout the years, with Mark Hughes’ brace earning Ferguson his first European trophy in the 1990/91 Cup Winners’ Cup.

Brian McClair’s goal then sealed the European Super Cup with a 1-0 victory over Red Star Belgrade, following a 1-0 loss to Lazio in the 1999 edition.

The treble opened United up to global tournaments. Roy Keane secured his first-ever Intercontinental Cup victory over Palmeiras, before losing the 2008 and 2017 Super Cups to Zenit Saint Petersburg.
