I'm the Red Devil's savior

Chapter 353 End of Record
Just as Manchester United lifted this year's Club World Cup trophy at the Zayed Stadium, the 18th round of the Premier League ended a focus game.Blue Moon Manchester City sat at the Etihad Stadium and swept Tottenham Hotspur with a score of 4:1.

Such a game not only caused Tottenham to drop from 4th to 7th in the Premier League, and directly fell out of the European theater from the Champions League, and the winning Manchester City finally surpassed Manchester United in points and led the Premier League standings by 3 points. !
This is the first Premier League team to surpass Manchester United in points since December 2014, 12!
In other words, in the past 3 years and 10 days, a full 1106 days, although Manchester United has lost the top spot in the Premier League standings, no team has surpassed them in terms of points!
The most other teams are tying Manchester United in points, and then relying on the advantage of goal difference to overtake Manchester United in rankings.

This is a terrible record, and it also proves how strong Ye Su's Manchester United are in the Premier League from another aspect!

In fact, if it weren't for the postponement of Manchester United's game, this record might have to be extended.

………………

After winning the Club World Cup, Manchester United did not stay longer in Abu Dhabi, but flew back to the UK overnight.

Although it was already late at night in Abu Dhabi's local time when the game ended, due to the time zone gap, when Manchester United returned to Manchester, it was still around three in the morning local time.

This is very beneficial for Manchester United players to adjust to the jet lag.Otherwise, it will be troublesome to wait until the daytime to fly back, and then adjust the time difference. At least one more day of adjustment time for Manchester United will be wasted.

就在4天之后，北京时间12月21日凌晨4点，英国当地时间12月20日晚上8点，联赛杯第5轮，曼联作客布里斯托尔城的比赛就将在阿斯顿·加特球场开战。

Then, at 12:24 am on December 3th, Beijing time, Manchester United will go to the King Power Stadium to challenge Leicester City. This is the 45th round of the Premier League.

After that, it is the world-famous Premier League Christmas Devil schedule.

In fact, for Manchester United, the Christmas devil's schedule has already begun: the quarter-finals of the League Cup with Bristol is the beginning of this devil's schedule.

Although there are four full days between the Club World Cup final and the quarter-finals of the League Cup, it is impossible for Manchester United to have so much preparation time.

Because the air distance from Manchester to Dubai is nearly 6000 kilometers, the passenger plane needs to fly for about 8 hours.

This is because Manchester United has become a partner with Emirates, and Emirates temporarily added an additional flight to send Manchester United home.Otherwise, Manchester United would have to wait until the next day to fly back to the UK.
