Manchester United are the kings of Christmas

When it comes to picking up three points on Boxing Day, Manchester United reign supreme having lost just one of their 22 fixtures (a 3-1 defeat against Middlesbrough in 2002).

With that impressive tally giving the Red Devils an 86.4 per cent Boxing Day win ratio, it's no wonder that the Old Trafford club have collected 13 Premier League trophies, often being known for hitting form during and after the festive period.
