The last time United were relegated from the Premier League (2020-21), they won their first game after their relegation was confirmed (1-0 v Brighton). Indeed, relegated sides have avoided defeat in their next match after their relegation was confirmed on four of the last seven occasions (winning three and drawing one, excluding times teams went down on the final day). They have started well today and will be looking to collect their fourth league win of the season.
