You're A Record Breaker !!82: Defeats to Tottenham Hotspur, Swansea City and Sunderland have meant that United have lost their first three matches of a calender year in 82 years, dating back to 1932. Back then,
Walter Crickmer's side were beaten by Bradford Park Avenue, Plymouth Argyle and Swansea City.
1974: United have now lost three encounters in the month of January. That hadn't occurred in 40 years.
22: Those matches have also resulted in United losing three matches in one week for the first time in 22 seasons.
2001: Sticking with the three successive defeats theme, that previously happened 13 years ago as Derby County, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur came out on top against the Red Devils.
10: As for Swansea, they had never won at Old Trafford prior to their
2-1 success in the FA Cup - a sequence that dated back 10 matches.
20: Sunderland have also broken a hoodoo this year, having
beaten United for the first time in 20 attempts. That triumph, back in 2000, was also in the League Cup.
1992: The year that Everton - Moyes's former club - last won at Old Trafford prior to this campaign. A goal from full-back
Bryan Oviedo was enough for
Roberto Martinez to do what Moyes had failed to do in his 11 years in charge of the Toffees -
win away at United.
41: Yohan Cabaye's strike midway through the second half secured a
1-0 win for Newcastle United at Old Trafford, meaning that the Magpies headed back to Tyneside with all three points. It was the maiden time that they had done so in some 41 years.
1978: Laurie Cunningham and
Cyrille Regis were among the goals when West Bromwich Albion last won at Old Trafford back in 1978. This time around,
Morgan Amalfitano and
Saido Berahino were the heroes as the Baggies
ended a 35-year wait for a win. West Brom had also failed to beat United in 13 prior attempts.
8: Southampton ended an eight-match losing run against United courtesy of
Adam Lallana's
late equaliser in October.
26: From their 20 Premier League matches so far, United have dropped 26 points. Last season, they shipped 25 throughout the whole campaign.
25: The percentage number of matches that United have lost so far this season in all competitions - eight from 32. During the previous campaign, Ferguson's men lost 10 of 54.
Keep going David you're smashing all before you !!
This week's Moysie is Mike with 5 points. This weeks Big Sam Alladici is Theo with 20 points.
