Yearender 2021: Manchester United’s three biggest wins

Former
manager
Ole
Gunnar
Solskjaer
guided
the
team
to
a
second-place
finish
in
Premier
League
and
helped
them
qualify
for
the
Champions
League
for
the
successive
time
last
season.

However,
losing
the
Europa
League
final
to
Sevilla
in
a
penalty
shootout
ended
all
of
their
trophy
hopes.
In
this
ongoing
campaign,
despite
a
good
start
to
the
campaign,
the
team
has
failed
to
maintain
consistency
which
eventually
resulted
in
the
Norwaeign
manager’s
sacking.

But
despite
all
such,
there
have
already
been
a
number
of
memorable
games
for
United
this
year.
They
have
secured
some
of
the
biggest
wins
in
their
history
this
year.

Here
we
look
at
as
such
three
biggest
victories
in
2021.

1.
Manchester
United
9-0
Southampton

United
equalled
their
Premier
League
record
win
in
February
this
year
with
the
showing
no
mercy
to
a
10-man
Southampton
side.
Jankewitz’s
red
card
just
after
81
sec
made
this
a
night
to
forget
for
Saints.
Aaron
Wan-Bissaka,
Marcus
Rashford,
Edinson
Cavani,
Anthony
Martial,
Scott
McTominay,
Bruno
Fernandes,
and
Dan
James
all
found
themselves
on
the
scoresheet.
With
this
win,
United
matched
their
biggest
win
in
Premier
League.
They
last
won
a
match
by
this
margin
in
March
1995
vs
Ipswich
Town
(9-0).

2.
Manchester
United
6-2
AS
Roma

United
registered
one
of
their
biggest
wins
in
the
European
circuit
against
Roma
as
the
Red
Devils
thrashed
the
Serie
A
giant
in
the
Europa
League
semifinal
first
leg
thanks
to
braces
from
Edinson
Cavani
and
Bruno
Fernandes.
Paul
Pogba
and
Mason
Greenwood
scored
the
two
other
goals.
Bruno
Fernandes’s
early
opener
was
quickly
cancelled
out
by
Lorenzo
Pellegrini’s
penalty
before
Edin
Dzeko
put
Roma
in
front
at
half-time.
But
the
Italians
lost
three
players
to
injury
before
the
break
and
United
punished
the
side
with
a
dominant
second-half
performance
from
Cavani
and
co.

3.
Manchester
United
5-1
Leeds
United

The
Red
Devils
were
at
their
destructive
best
when
they
hosted
Marcelo
Bielsa’s
side
at
Old
Trafford
in
the
season
opener
in
the
ongoing
campaign.
A
hat-trick
from
Bruno
Fernandes
and
a
stunning
display
from
Paul
Pogba
helped
Ole
Gunnar
Solskjaer’s
side
open
their
Premier
League
season
in
style.
So
far,
this
has
been
their
biggest
win
in
the
ongoing
campaign.
