It's one of the most vaunted statistics in the Premier League.
When Manchester United take a lead at Old Trafford, they do not lose. Not once in the Premier League era have the Red Devils led at home going into the break and not taken at least a point.
Indeed, you have to go back nearly a decade prior to the start of the Premier League when the club were under the auspices of Ron Atkinson for the last time United lost a game when leading at half-time.
When did Manchester United last lose at home when leading at half-time?
Manchester United last lost a home league game when leading at half-time back in May 1984 against Ipswich Town. Mark Hughes gave United a lead inside the half-hour mark before Jean-Michel d'Avery levelled quickly after the break for the Tractor Boys. With United chasing a winner, Alan Sunderland scored a late winner to consign United to defeat.
Prior to their clash with Bournemouth, United had played 1,129 games in all competitions, going into half-time ahead in 542 times. Of those 542 games, United went on to win 491 and drew 51, losing none.
In terms of league games since May 1984, Manchester United have led 393 at the break, going on to win 359, drawing 34.
