Darren Ferguson revived 'Fergie Time' last season after FIFA altered its added time rules - but Manchester United did not take advantage of the changes.
Ferguson's Peterborough United scored the most added-time goals across the top-four tiers of English football last season. That record represents a remarkable turnaround from the previous campaign when the team only scored once after the 90th minute.
The 1500% increase in added-time goals is by far the biggest in England and across Europe, according to StatsChecker. Their data also shows that United scored the same amount of late goals (six) as last season after the changes. Only Crystal Palace (five) and Everton (four) managed fewer added-time goals than Erik ten Hag's side.

Comparatively, Arsenal and Liverpool scored more than double (both 15) what United managed, with the Merseyside club increasing their total by 200%. Chelsea, Manchester City, Newcastle United (all 11) and Tottenham Hotspur (ten) also reached double-digits for late goals.
Several of those also came against United, including two from Cole Palmer at Stamford Bridge and another from Gabriel Jesus away at Arsenal. Brentford's Kristoffer Ajer and Fulham's Alex Iwobi also scored in added time to cost United points this season.
But with Kobbie Mainoo and Scott McTominay coming up with late winners against Wolverhampton Wanderers and in the reverse fixture against Brentford, they cancelled out each other. United neither lost nor gained more points from added-time goals across the season.
