Holding the title of English football’s most illustrious club inevitably comes with a slew of feats that very few will ever come close to matching – but just what are the Manchester United records that might not ever be smashed?
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

New Manchester United Era Beckons, But Will Any Old Record Fall?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a new dawn peaks over the horizon at Old Trafford with Ruben Amorim’s arrival<\/a>, the new manager will be hoping to restore the silverware-hungry juggernaut of football<\/a> years gone by.<\/p>\n

Man United as an institution is inherently successful, and although clubs have threatened to come close to their level of success, the lion\u2019s share of English top-flight records belong to them.<\/p>\n

But which records do the Red Devils hold that may never be broken? Here, SportsCasting<\/a> takes a look.<\/p>\n

87 Years of Having Academy Graduates in the Squad<\/b><\/h3>\n

Dating back to 30th October 1937, Manchester United have had an academy graduate in every single matchday squad since – a staggering run of 87 years.<\/p>\n

United’s enduring reputation for nurturing youth has evolved throughout the decades; from fielding almost an entire team of youth products post-Munich Air Disaster, to the iconic class of ’92.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt hasn\u2019t been manufactured or, indeed, something we were conscious of. It\u2019s just the way things are done here,” said Director of Academy Nick Cox.<\/p>\n

Fewest Goals Conceded at Home in a Single Season<\/b><\/h3>\n

Manchester United incredibly conceded just four goals at Old Trafford throughout the 1994\/95 campaign – which also happened to be the final 42-game season.<\/p>\n

Despite their iron-clad defensive record on home soil, Blackburn Rovers prevailed as title winners that year by a solitary point after a breathtaking run-in.<\/p>\n

Just four goals conceded at home but a total of 24 on the road – including a fatal one against West Ham on the final day to relinquish their grip on the title – meant their record stands in vain.<\/p>\n

Longest Unbeaten Run Away From Home in the Premier League<\/b><\/h3>\n

Manchester United’s covid-stricken 2020\/21 campaign saw them set a new record for the longest unbeaten run away from home in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Although it wasn’t enough to pip neighbours Manchester City to the title that year, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer managed to mastermind a 29-game unbeaten run on the road.<\/p>\n

In doing so they also became only the fourth side to remain unbeaten away from home across an entire top-flight season.<\/p>\n

Longest Run Without Conceding a Goal in the Premier League<\/b><\/h3>\n

The 2008\/09 season saw Manchester United fare slightly better than the aforementioned 1994\/95 campaign, and they even had another dizzying defensive record to match.<\/p>\n

Between November 15th and February 18th, Edwin van Der Sar managed to keep 14 consecutive clean sheets, setting a record for the longest run without conceding a goal – a total of 1,113 minutes – which still stands today.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman would go on to register 21 clean sheets that season – just three shy of Petr Cech’s all-time record set three years earlier.<\/p>\n

Three-Peat, Not Once But Twice<\/b><\/h3>\n

Pep Guardiola and Manchester City may have become the first side to win four consecutive top-flight titles, but their neighbours still hold an almighty feat when it comes to winning the league trophy on the bounce.<\/p>\n

In the years between 1998 and 2001, and then again between 2006 and 2009, Manchester United achieved a three-peat of league titles on two separate occasions.<\/p>\n

Fewest Points to Win a League Title<\/b><\/h3>\n

This next Manchester United record is one perhaps not to shout about too loudly, but one that will take some breaking.<\/p>\n

Title winners now must aspire to hit at least 90 points or more if they are to clinch the league, but the 1996\/97 campaign saw United win with a mere 75 points.<\/p>\n

Such was the competitiveness of the league that year that Liverpool, Arsenal and runners-up Newcastle all finished on 68 points – just seven off champions United.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that all three relegated teams finished with 34 points or more – for reference, the most any relegated side achieved last season was 26, highlighting the growing gap between the elite and those at the foot of the table.<\/p>\n

Most Premier League Titles<\/b><\/h3>\n

Manchester United have lifted 13 Premier League titles, which is five more than the next-nearest Manchester City who are slowly but surely catching up to their neighbours.<\/p>\n

It has been over a decade since United last won a Premier League title, which has handed their serial-winning city rivals a free run at closing the gap.<\/p>\n

Longest Unbeaten Run By an English Side in the Champions League<\/b><\/h3>\n

Although another of their eternal rivals Liverpool are the most successful English side in Europe, Manchester United still hold the longest unbeaten run in the continent’s elite club competition.<\/p>\n

From 2007 to 2009 – a period in which they lifted the Champions League and reached another final – United went 25 games unbeaten.<\/p>\n

Haven\u2019t Lost a Home Game When Leading at Half-time Since 1984<\/b><\/h3>\n

Last, but certainly by no means least, Manchester United have managed to keep an astonishing home record intact since 1984.<\/p>\n

When leading at half-time at Old Trafford, they have not gone on to lose – a record that has stood since a defeat to Ipswich on May 7th 1984.<\/p>\n
