In a remarkable turn of events, Manchester United's unbeaten streak of 143 English Premier League matches when leading at half-time came to an end. This streak, which had been ongoing since September 2014, was broken despite Manchester United facing a record-tying 18 shots from Manchester City in the first half of their latest match, the most since Opta records began. The game, which took place at Etihad Stadium, marked a significant moment as it was the first time Manchester United lost a game after being ahead at half-time in nearly a decade. Additionally, Manchester United has experienced a downturn this season, with 11 league games lost, two more than the entire previous season.
