After dispelling the ‘second season syndrome’ myth with their momentous First Division title win in 1992, United could not sustain their upward progress.
It was a season of triumphs at home and misery on the road, as Howard Wilkinson’s side failed to register a single Premier League win outside of LS11.
Elland Road was a fortress - but the Whites’ dismal away form determined that they were unable to extend the euphoric hysteria which swept the city during Leeds’ Championship-winning campaign the previous season.
United secured safety with a few games to spare - but on the final day, only two points separated Leeds from a swift and brutal return to the second tier.
