Manchester United may have suffered a nightmare Premier League campaign last season, but according to the latest edition of ESPN's Luck Index, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were actually fortunate on several occasions and should have finished even lower than sixth.
United would have been four points worse off without their good fortune and ended the season in seventh place behind Everton, who were found to be the unluckiest side in the league last term.

Had Solskjaer's men finished seventh, they would have had to pull out of their International Champions Cup preseason tour as the club would have had to play Europa League qualifiers instead.
