England have not won a major tournament since 1966 because they have not been good enough and if it wasn't a home tournament they wouldn't have won that either. The reason they're performing better now is because they have better players, the coaching has improved and the players actually want to play for their country. It's not rocket science.
Man Utd's team was superior and other teams knew it, so they had a psychological edge going into matches. Late goals were a consequence of the opposition's lack of belief they could hold out for a point and Man Utd's forcefulness, especially at home. So no, it's not coincidence, it's just the bleedin' obvious.
