Was today the first time ever that United started a game without a single Englishman?

Did you know that today was only the second time in history when United have started with eleven different nationalities?

The first occasion was the home game against Stoke earlier this season.  But, unlike that match, none of today's starting XI against City were English.

I reckon it's probably the first time United have ever fielded a side without a single Englishman.
