5 Things We Learned: Manchester United 4-1 Newcastle United
Follow Fergus: @fergusrockhard 1. Old Trafford is a Fortress To coin one of those ridiculous football phrases, Old Trafford is a metaphorical fortress. By virtue of this 4-1 win against Rafa Benitez’s workmanlike Magpies, Manchester United set a club record of 38 games unbeaten at home. Reliable home form has been the bedrock of any…

5 Things We Learned: Manchester United 3-2 Southampton
