The Reds are currently level on 33 points with Liverpool, but will leapfrog the Merseysiders with a win or a draw at Turf Moor.
There is, however, a top-flight ranking we already lead – one which encapsulates a key quality Ole Gunnar Solskjaer demands from his team.
United have scored more goals on the counter-attack than any other Premier League side so far in 2020/21, with five of our 33 strikes coming on the break.
“It’s in our genes those counter-attacking goals, and I love seeing them, I have to say,” Ole told us in a recent interview to mark two years in charge at Old Trafford, and there’s certainly been plenty for the Norwegian to enjoy this term, as you can see in the video below.
