Man United's Unstoppable Run: A Rare Premier League Benchmark

United's 3-2 win extends unbeaten run in 2026

Manchester United piled up another notable stat after their thrilling 3-2 victory over Fulham on Sunday evening at Old Trafford, in the 24th round of the Premier League.

WhoScored reported that United currently holds the longest unbeaten streak among all Premier League clubs, seven matches in a row, and remains the only team unbeaten in the league since the start of 2026.

Numbers behind the performance: consistent results with restrained possession

Opta noted that United have won all seven of their Premier League matches this season, despite not exceeding 45% possession, with today’s clash against Fulham registering 42.4%.

By contrast, the analysis indicates the team has only four wins from 17 league games when possession was 45% or more during the 2025-26 season, with eight draws and five defeats.

Bruno Fernandes: the engine of United's surge

Squawka highlighted the captain's brilliance, showing Fernandes matched his personal record for assists in a single Premier League season with 12, and delivered seven assists in his last seven PL matches, underscoring his influence on United's results.

Punchline 1: If United's passing were a GPS, it would still somehow end up with a shot on goal. Punchline 2: Bruno Fernandes makes assists look easy—it's like he has a magic wand, but it's just a football.
