This season, Manchester United are the only team across Europe's big five leagues not to concede more than two goals in any match this season.

With a challenging schedule consisting of Premier League, EFL Cup, FA Cup and Champions League fixtures, one would expect any team to have an off day.

Not United. Jose Mourinho's side hasn't conceded more than two goals in any match this season. Although they have come close a few times.

On 11 occasions, the 'Red Devils' have let two goals past the formidable David De Gea, which has resulted in three victories, three draws and seven defeats.

In fact, two have come in incredible combacks against Crystal Palace and Manchester City in which United fought hard to secure all three points.

However, the most crushing would come in the Champions League when a 2-1 loss to Sevilla at Old Trafford saw them eliminated from the European competition at the Round of 16 stage. 

With the end of the season fast approaching and only seven games remaining (eight if they reach the FA Cup final), can United maintain this remarkable statistic?
