Man Utd v Newcastle: The pick of the stats
- Published
Steve Bruce has lost 12 of his 13 games as a visiting manager at Old Trafford in the Premier League, including all three in charge of current club Newcastle. His teams have scored a combined six goals in this run, while conceding 33 in return.
Manchester United have taken 10 points from their opening four games of the Premier League season; their best start to a campaign since 2017-18 (also 10), when they went on to finish second in the table.
Aged 36 years and 218 days, Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo became the oldest player to score a brace in a Premier League match since Graham Alexander for Burnley against Hull in April 2010 (38y 182d).
