The aura of fear that used to paralyse teams when they arrived at Old Trafford is truly gone.
The home of Manchester United, was for so long was not a ‘theatre of dreams’, but a citadel of nightmares for visiting teams.
The home side would attack in waves, and often have games wrapped up by half-time as the opposition would shirk in the face of a blitzkrieg of pace and guile.
But those days are over ever since Alex Ferguson retired, as the club’s home record against various Premier League sides, at the top and bottom of the table, has crumbled.
Today was another disappointing afternoon for supporters at Old Trafford, as Southampton secured a second successive 1-0 win over the Red Devils.
And the victory for Ronald Koeman’s side has now put him in very very unique company among Premier League, managers, both past and present.
4 – Ronald Koeman is the fourth manager in PL history to record successive away wins over Man Utd (also Houllier, Mancini, Allardyce). Feat.
