Record series

Knowing how to rotate the opponent has helped the Red Devils have their 6th clean sheet after 7 opening rounds of the Premier League, a milestone the club once set in the 1997/98 season. Jose Mourinho confidently rushed to attack and scored a goal very early thanks to a squad of quality players, capable of controlling the game. In the first half, the home team MU had 68% possession, 9 shots, 3 on target, while the away team only had 32%, 2 shots and only 1 on target.

The Belgian striker has equaled Andy Cole's record of scoring the most goals in his first seven Premier League games for Man United. Lukaku has scored a total of 11 goals in 10 appearances in all competitions. The only match since the start of the season in which the Belgian striker failed to score was when MU beat Leicester 2-0.

Manchester United fans are quite excited about the start of the season of Jose Mourinho and his players. So, despite the wet and cloudy weather in Manchester, the Red Devils fans still flocked to the stadium in a cheerful mood. They witnessed Romelu Lukaku shine in the last minute to seal an easy 4-0 victory for the Red Devils.

The attack line not only had Lukaku, the match also witnessed Marcus Rashford assist 2 goals and Anthony Martial arrange for Lukaku's goal.

Belgian midfielder Fellaini dominated the Man of the Match award on Twitter @ManUtd. He received 79% of the support from fans, leaving Marcus Rashford (15%) and Ashley Young (6%). This was the first time in a MU shirt that Fellaini scored a double with a great performance in the midfield area.

Up to now, Fellaini - a player who was thought to be out of time at Old Trafford - has scored 4 goals, more than the total number of goals last season. Assigned to replace the injured Paul Pogba, the 29-year-old stopper combined with Nemanja Matic and used his physical strength to control the midfield. In the match against Palace, he had 12 successful blocks from the opponent's attack and scored 2 extremely classy goals thanks to his ability to choose the right position.

Fellaini is the choice and gives confidence to coach Jose Mourinho when using the 4-4-2 formation thanks to his ability to control space and the ability to compete. United have an average of 61.97% of possession in matches against teams using the 4-4-2 formation, higher than when facing any other formation. The average successful ball recovery rate (73.3%) is also the highest. The number of shots and shots on target they have conceded against the 4-4-2 (8.5 and 2.3 per game respectively) are also the lowest. United have not lost a match when facing teams using the 4-4-2, with a winning rate of up to 67%.

Red Devils fan Liam Canning tweeted: “Fellaini showed great resilience to bounce back from the boos at Old Trafford. Well done. Deserved success”!

Jose Mourinho also commented on Fellaini: “He is a great player and personality, between us is a bond. A strong personality dares to face the challenges here. He is a warrior. I am extremely satisfied to have helped him raise his level, at the same time change the perception of the fans, I am very happy for him”.

In two weeks, after the break for the national teams, Mourinho and his team will enter the first Big Bang match: away at Liverpool. October will be a difficult time for Jose Mourinho and his team. Except for the match with the new recruit Huddersfield Town (October 21), they will face two big opponents: Liverpool (October 14) and Tottenham (October 28). MU fans hope that the winning streak will be extended!
