Comments:

League position: 5th . Manchester United had now won one of their last four games in the Premier League played between Christmas and New Year (lost three). . The Red Devils had now become the first team to fulfill five consecutive games in the Premier League when they were competing in the only game in the division to be played on that day. . This was the first time that brothers (Jack and Tyler Fletcher) were both selected in a United matchday squad since Rafael Da Silva and Fábio Da Silva at Hull City in the Premier League on 26 December 2013 (exactly 12 years to the day). Coincidentally, both pair of brothers are twins.
