Six wins in a row for Manchester United, the longest winning streak by anyone in the Premier League this season. Despite the very poor start, United have really turned it around. The difference today was Man of the Match David de Gea. Liverpool had a 19-11 advantage in shots today, a 19-11 advantage in shots on target, and 9-6 in shots on goal.
Again De Gea was the difference for Man United, just like he’s been most of the season. He’s been a rock, he’s been consistent, as Man united have used 12 different defender combinations in front of him this year.
