Brighton veteran previously celebrated victories on Man Utd soil with Aston Villa, Manchester City and Liverpool too
Manchester United should look no further - their least-favourite opponent ever has been James Milner. The 37-year-old player has won 11 games against the Red Devils in the Premier League, which is more than any other in the history of this competition.
Moreover, Brighton's mesmerizing triumph on Saturday was the sixth time Milner celebrated a victory at Old Trafford with four different sides: Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool and now Brighton.
Roberto de Zerbi decided to put him on with 13 minutes left on the clock, with his 35 meetings with United behind only Chelsea (36) over his 22 seasons to date.
Only Ryan Giggs played as many consecutive campaigns in the Premier League, with Milner poised to overtake the ex-United midfielder in the all-time appearances list this term.
When Milner, who is currently on 624, surpasses Giggs’ tally of 632, he will be second behind only Gareth Barry (652).

In front of goal, Milner has been more productive against only five other teams in the Premier League than his record of three goals and four assists against United -
Sunderland (six goals, four assists), Everton (three goals, seven assists), Stoke (one goal, eight assists), Villa (four goals, four assists) and Leicester (three goals, five assists.
