The 13-time Premier League champions capped off their 300th away Premier League win with a fine performance against Brentford on February 20, 2022. The likes of Anthony Elanga, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford got on the scoresheet as United beat the newly-promoted side 3-1 at the Brentford Community Stadium.

This is followed by 14 wins at St James’ Park (Newcastle United) and 12 wins apiece at Anfield (Liverpool) and Tottenham Hotspur’s old ground White Hart Lane.

United’s biggest league victory away from home came against Nottingham Forest in February 1999. Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke scored two goals each while former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer put four goals past Dave Beasant inside 12 minutes to cap off an 8-1 win.

Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney has scored the most goals on the road (62) during United’s 300 away wins. The former striker is followed by Ryan Giggs (55), Paul Scholes (42), Ruud van Nistelrooy (40) and Andy Cole (39).
