Comments:

Final league position 2018-19: 6th Manchester United finished 32 points behind champions Manchester City in this season; the most they had finished behind the top division champions since they were relegated to League Division Two in 1973-74 (30 points, when two points were awarded for a win). United finished 32 points ahead of relegated Cardiff City in this season. The Red Devils kept only two clean sheets in their home games in this Premier League season. It was their fewest at home in a league season since 1962-63 in League Division One (two). At 17 years and 223 days, Mason Greenwood became the youngest player to start a game in the Premier League for United.

Comments:

Final league position 2018-19: 18th Nathaniel Mendez-Laing became only the second player from a newly-promoted team to score two goals at Old Trafford in the Premier League after Louis Saha for Fulham in August 2001. Cardiff City became the first newly-promoted team to win at Manchester United by a margin of two or more goals since Nottingham Forest in League Division One in December 1977 (4-0). This was the fourth time in this season that City had led at half-time in the Premier League. The Bluebirds had lost nine of their 11 preceding games in the Premier League and lost a club record 24 games in a top division season. This was City's first win in their 24 games against the big six opponents (lost 21). They had lost the last 19 in a row.
