First up, if you haven't already, go and follow Blades Analytics on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Blades_analytic - fantastic insight and analysis of the games and season as it's all playing out. A highlight of my twitter feed.
Now the meat:
This has passed many #twitterblades by but...
From game week 24 (Derby win on boxing day)
United have only lost 2 games!
In that time Leeds have lost 9.
Blades have also won 14 games in that time. The most in the division. It's been an astonishing run.

Add to that the fact that from that Derby at home game on boxing day united have only conceded 12 goals
Thats 12 goals in 20 games. That's 0.6 goals conceded per game and scored 1.75 per game
It's actually numbers that have rarely been seen before.
Adding even further context I looked at the championship, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A. Only 2 teams have a better goals conceded per game ratio in that time frame:
Atleti
Man City'
Incredible numbers and just shows it's that all important cliche that matters - It's a marathon not a sprint.
