Top scorer: Joe Cassidy (20 goals in all competitions).
Season in focus
Newton Heath finished fourth in Division Two, with Joe Cassidy’s 20 goals the main attacking feature. The league position suggested a side capable of challenging, but an early FA Cup exit and failure to reach promotion left the season incomplete. It was one of several near-top-half campaigns before the 1902 reorganisation.
