The last time Manchester United were able to savour an away victory Victor Lindelöf partnered Harry Maguire at centre-back, Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka began at full-back, Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard started in midfield and Cristiano Ronaldo led the line. And Ralf Rangnick was in interim charge and lined up for a consultancy role.
Bruno Fernandes was one of only four survivors from that team and the Portuguese, seemingly thriving with the captain’s armband around his bicep, capped a sweeping move with a cunning volley to earn United a first away win since February and successive Premier League victories for the first time since that three points at Elland Road.
