Since the division’s inception 27 years ago, we have won more than two-thirds of our 63 league games on the first day of the week. The most recent of our 43 Monday-night victories was one for United fans to savour: a 3-2 comeback success against Crystal Palace on 5 March 2018.
The Reds had trailed 2-0 with 35 minutes remaining, but a spirited fightback saw us get back on level terms heading into injury time, before Nemanja Matic’s barnstorming late strike ensured we returned from the capital with all the points; the Serbian duly earned our 2017/18 Goal of the Season award.
