With figures taken from AA route planner, leaving Bramall Lane, travelling to the away ground and back is a grand total of 4993 miles up and down the motorways in wind, rain and snow.

Rotherham is the local derby next season. Just 7.4 miles separate Bramall Lane and the New York City Stadium.

United have just five games with an overall travelling distance of under 100 miles.
