Manchester United have become the first team in Premier League history to win 300 away games in the competition.
The Red Devils won 3-1 away to Brentford last night thanks to goals from Anthony Elanga, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford, giving Ralf Rangnick a much-needed boost after some recent problems.
It’s not been entirely plain sailing for Rangnick since he took over as interim manager, with some performances leaving much to be desired, while there’s also been the ongoing Anthony Martial saga.
Now, however, Rangnick has helped ensure Man Utd’s place in the history books, with an incredible 300th Premier League win away from home, as per Opta Joe in the tweet below…

United are some way ahead of their rivals as well, with Chelsea currently in 2nd place, but with 41 fewer victories on the road than MUFC.
Arsenal and Liverpool aren’t too far behind Chelsea, but there’s then a pretty big gap before we get to Manchester City in fifth place on this list.
In total this season, United have won five games out of eleven on the road.
