A record that has been sealed for 118 years, Manchester United has not defeated the defending league champion away from home for two consecutive seasons.

The eighth round of the Premier League on Sunday night will feature a double red match, and Manchester United will need to go to Anfield to challenge Liverpool. For Red Devils coach Amorim, he hopes to lead his team to break a record that has been dusted for 118 years.

Manchester United defeated the then defending Premier League champion Manchester City on the road last season, but they have not defeated the defending champion on the road in two consecutive seasons since the 1906-07 season (against Liverpool) and the 1907-08 season (against Newcastle). Manchester United coach Amorim also hopes to become the third coach after Pellegrini and Conte to win against the defending Premier League champions in their first two away games.

A few days ago in this international match, Manchester United defeated Sunderland 2-0 and is currently ranked 10th in the Premier League standings.
