The Reds have won 18 of our previous 27 games around the first weekend of the season, more than any other club. Since the Premier League began in 1992, United have averaged 2.15 points per game from the opening weekend fixtures, a record no other side, who have played more than five seasons in the division, have bettered.
Even more impressive is our record during the first home match of the season. The Reds have won 20 of our 27 opening Premier League games at Old Trafford.
Since losing our very first home match of the Premier League, against Everton in 1992/93, United have been beaten just once in our opening Old Trafford fixture of a campaign - that came in 2014, against a Gylfi Sigurdsson-inspired Swansea City.
