Manchester United got off to a winning start on Sunday at Old Trafford against Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace. Fred was the man that popped up with the winner for the Reds and you could see their new manager Ralf Rangnick’s imprint on the team already. It was a vital win for the Red Devils which just keeps them three points off West Ham in fourth spot.

Their new manager Ralf Rangnick had only one training session with his team on Saturday but already he is doing his magic, including this incredible stat below that hasn’t been achieved since Sir Alex Ferguson left the job. Too late for a title challenge…?
