History of the Manchester United v Bolton Wanderers fixture
Bolton Wanderers face a trip to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Trotters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
