Season 1934-1935 Details
Wilf Copping was allowed to join Arsenal for a sensational £6,000 and long-serving keeper Jimmy Potts moved to Port Vale. There were murmurs of disapproval as United crashed to a record 8-1 defeat, in the second game of the season at Stoke City, with Stanley Matthews scoring four. It was only seven games after United's record 8-0 win over Leicester City.
