United's 50 Premier League opponents: Barnsley

To mark Manchester United facing a 50th different club in the Premier League, following Luton Town's promotion, we're recalling our record against each one and showing the highlights from some classic meetings.

Having spent just one season in the Premier League during the 1997/98 campaign, the Tykes are a side predominantly know for their time in England's second and third tiers.

But following promotion to the top flight in '96/97, then-manager Danny Wilson was tasked with keeping the South Yorkshire side afloat on something of a shoestring budget.

Amassing just 35 points and conceding 82 goals in the process, Barnsley were soon relegated to the second tier, where they have resided for most of their history ever since.
