Man United stand alone with unique PL stat no other club can match

Manchester United boast a unique start in the Premier League this season that none of the other 19 clubs in the division can match.

Champions League beckons

United are on the cusp of securing qualification to the Champions League, with five games left to play before the close of the 2025/26 campaign.

The Red Devils have enjoyed a dramatic improvement in performances and results since Michael Carrick was brought in to temporarily replace Ruben Amorim in the dugout. Carrick has taken charge of 12 games, winning eight, drawing two and losing two.

Heading into Monday’s home meeting with Brentford, United sit in third place in the Premier League table.

Fourth-placed Aston Villa lost to Fulham on Saturday, meaning a United win against the Bees would give them a three-point cushion over Unai Emery’s men.

Given how inconsistent the club were under Amorim, the prospect of this season ending as even a partial success is a huge testament to Carrick and his work.

Unique stat

Statisticians Playmaker have revealed that United remain the only Premier League team not to have recorded a goalless draw this season.

United have yet to be involved in a goalless draw, as each of their draws to date has seen both sides celebrate at least one goal.
