As Manchester United look to secure victory over West Ham United in tonight's Premier League clash, in what will be their fifth straight win, we've taken a trip back in time to remember the last time a Red Devils side achieved the feat.
With Michael Carrick's side currently flying, having secured four wins in his only four games since taking caretaker charge — including surprise results over title challengers Man City and Arsenal — it's hard to believe how long it's been since Man United won five in a row.

As of this month, it has been almost exactly two full years since the Red Devils did it.
