We get the same 4mins every week, Home or Away that everyone else gets. Was it Arsenal or Chelsea that had 7mins added at the start of the season and won the game? Difference being the Guardian could care less about that,

Chelsea. The Guardian wasn't comparing one game vs another. They were comparing averages and found the United do in fact, on average, get more time. Sure you can point to one Chelsea game where they had 7 mins added and one United game where there was only 4 but in this case they took all games.
Edit: Not that I believe this is part of a Pro-United Ref Policy. But it is clear United get more time when they are losing. Either because of time-wasting by the leading team or the games they lose tend to be dirtier affairs requiring more time.
