Comments:

League position: 8th . This game was played on the day that it was announced that incomparable icon of Manchester United Sir Bobby Charlton had passed away at the age of 86. . United avoided losing five or more of their opening nine games of a league season for the first time since 1986-87 in League Division One. . The Red Devils had now won 19 of their last 26 games in the Premier League against newly-promoted teams (including all of the last ten).
