The relieving fact for United... and worrying for Celta

There are no precedents of Manchester United being defeated in a knockout having won the first leg away from home, which is what happened in Vigo last week.

The Red Devils have featured in a total 18 European knockouts in which they won the first match away from home, and they have never failed according to figures from '@2010MisterChip'.

This calls to question once again the fact that Old Trafford will be a fortress. The Theatre of Dreams has never seen its team succumb to a comeback in the Champions League or the Europa League, so the forecasts are positive for Mourinho's side.

Records are there to be broken, that is what Celta will hope for, and this fact would only make a home defeat tonight so much harder...
