Erik ten Hag has equaled Sir Alex Ferguson's record for the most Manchester United home games won in a single season.
Ferguson set the record for the most wins in the 2002/03 campaign. That season, United won the Premier League in a season that saw 27 home matches won at the Theatre of Dreams.
This season, the Reds matched the feat thanks to victory over Fulham on the final day. Kenny Tete gave the visitors the lead before Aleksandar Mitrovic missed the chance to make it 2-0 thanks to David de Gea's penalty save.

The goalkeeper's heroics sparked a turnaround at Old Trafford as Jadon Sancho equalised with six minutes of the half remaining. 10 minutes after the break, United found their winner.
A brilliant through-ball by Fred picked out Bruno Fernandes who lobbed Bernd Leno to seal the victory. United have benefitted this year from several extra home fixtures after winning the League Cup, reaching the FA Cup final and going deep into the Europa League knockout stages.
However, it has been quite the turnaround for the Reds as they returned to the Champions League with a third-place finish, eight points above fifth-place Liverpool. Despite the Premier League season ending on Sunday, United still have one task remaining.
Next weekend, Ten Hag's team head to Wembley for the FA Cup final against Manchester City. Should they be victorious in the capital, United will prevent their neighbours from winning the treble after they clinched the league title last weekend.
