Newcastle United v Manchester United - Premier League
The 'Red Devils' are numero uno in the number of wins.

It's no coincidence that Manchester United is considered to be the best team to have played in the Premier League.

As of 4th March 2018, in the 25 years of Premier League, United have amassed a total of 1909 goals (the latest coming against arch-rivals Chelsea). It's the highest number of goals scored, beating second-placed Arsenal (1750 goals) by 160 goals!

Goals win you matches they say, and all these goals have helped United win 622 matches, again beating second-placed Arsenal (538) by 84 wins (as of March 4, 2018).

United also holds the record for the biggest ever Premier League victory - a 9-0 rout of Ipswich Town at Old Trafford on 4th March 1995. Andy Cole scored 5 goals, Mark Hughes scored a brace while Paul Ince and Roy Keane scored a goal apiece in this dismantling of Ipswich.

Having world-class goalkeepers has been a sort of norm at Manchester United. Be it, Peter Schmeichel, Edwin van der Sar, or the very recent David de Gea, United have always had safe hands. No wonder, United have the highest number of clean sheets (433) in Premier League (as of March 4, 2018).
