#2 United’s unbeaten run continues but at what cost
The visitors extended their unbeaten run to 17 matches in all competitions with this draw. However, like Mourinho made it clear in his pre-match conference a day earlier, “I don’t care about the unbeaten run... But we’re not going to Stoke to defend our very nice unbeaten run.”
The United fans all over the word will certainly be rallying the sentiments of their manager. While remaining unbeaten for an extended period of time is a great achievement, winning matches is all that matters. With Liverpool losing to Swansea earlier, and City and Tottenham playing each other later in the day, United had a great opportunity to close the gap on their top-four rivals.
However, failure to convert gilt-edged chances meant that the visitors had to do with the solitary point.
