The question has to be asked, are Manchester United flat-track bullies?

Not only have they lost all of the away games played against sides who are currently top nine, they have taken some heavy hammerings.

The 25 goals Manchester United have conceded in just these six away matches, is one more goal than Newcastle United have conceded in ALL of their 30 home and away PL matches this season!

If this pattern continues, Manchester United could find their Champions League hopes badly affected, as it is rivals for top four, Brighton and Tottenham, who are the top nine PL sides they still have to play away from home.

Newcastle United have now got five home matches and only three away games remaining, the three away are against 11th placed Chelsea, Leeds (16th) and Everton (17th).
