Manchester United last visited Huddersfield in October 1971... the final time their 'Holy Trinity' of George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton appeared on the scoresheet together

It's been 46 years since a Manchester United team headed east over the Pennines and stopped off to play in the town of Huddersfield.

But Jose Mourinho's men will do precisely that on Saturday afternoon as they aim to keep up with rivals Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

And they'll certainly be more that satisfied if United come away with a 3-0 victory as United did back on October 9, 1971.
