Manchester United have only been behind for TWO MINUTES in league matches this season.
Any fans who left early to beat the halftime bar queues at United’s away game against Stoke will have missed the only time their club have been trailing in a league game this season.

It was cancelled out in the 45th minute by Marcus Rashford, meaning United have spent a grand total of two minutes chasing games.
