What record did Man Utd break?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have not lost any of their last 28 away games in the Premier League.

That is the longest unbeaten away run in English Football League history.

During that time, United have won 18 and drawn 10 matches.

That run has seen United break Arsenal’s record, which was set by the "Invincibles" side between April 2003 and September 2004.

Solskjaer reaches a century

Sunday's clash was Solskjaer's 100th match in charge of United in the Premier League.

United have won 53 matches in the league so far under the Norwegian and there is only one Red Devils coach who has won more in his first 100 top-flight matches - Ernest Mangnall, who coached the club from 1903 to 1912 and won 54 of his first 100 games in charge.

What next for Man Utd?

Due to the upcoming international fixtures, United are not in action again until September 11.

They will take on Newcastle at home before turning their attention to the first match of the Champions League group stage against Young Boys on September 14.
