Manchester United has faced Wigan Athletic 19 times in total and tomorrow's match, for mathematical reasons, will be the twentieth occasion and it will not be one more.

A Premier League historic match, it has been several years since the future rival of the team that plays at Old Trafford has not been at the top of English soccer since they were relegated and have not had the joy or luck to return to the elite of the best league in the world today. For this reason, there are not many opportunities for the players of the aforementioned opponents to play head-to-head against European giants during the season.

It is worth remembering that, in case of a draw, there are no penalties or extra time as in other tournaments, but there will be a play-off match and then, if there is still a tie at the end of the match, it will be decided from the 12 penalty kicks at Old Trafford, since the venue is reversed as if it were a head-to-head series in an international cup. Of the 19 meetings in the history, United have won 18 and Wigan have had only one win.
