We did beat Anderlecht 10-0 in 1956, although that European Cup tie took place at Maine Road – one of 74 ‘home’ games played at Manchester City’s old haunt that naturally do not count towards this tally.
United were tenants on Moss Side between 1946 and 1949, due to bomb damage suffered by Old Trafford during the war, while Goodison Park and Leeds Road (Huddersfield) hosted us in cup ties when both Manchester clubs had been drawn at home.
We also played three continental outings at Maine Road during the 1950s prior to the erection of floodlights at our own ground, and three 1970s home fixtures were held at Arsenal, Plymouth Argyle and Stoke City because of crowd trouble.
Every other United home game since 1910 has taken place at Old Trafford and, now we’ve scored our 5000th goal here, we can hopefully look forward to plenty more, before we leave for a new stadium in the near future.
