The Red Devils were in scintillating form before the English top-flight was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic has seen the Premier League put on hold since mid-March, but it doesn’t take away what has been a Jekyll and Hyde season for Manchester United.

That was largely due to the club not strengthening in depth after a couple of big summer departures which included Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez (loan) and Ander Herrera.

Injuries to key players like Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay during the season pushed the club further to the edge and mounted immense pressure on coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The arrivals of Bruno Fernandes and former Nigeria international Odion Ighalo, however, proved to be inspired signings and they have since rekindled the kind of blazing form that the Red Devils picked up when Solkajer was the interim manager.

Indeed, the 13-time Premier League champions were on an 11-game unbeaten run in all competitions, keeping clean sheets in nine of them.
