Comments:

Including caretakers, Erik ten Hag became the eighth manager to take charge of Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013. He became the first United boss to lose his first Premier League game in charge since Louis van Gaal in 2014 against Swansea City. The Red Devils had won their opening game in 20 seasons in the Premier League; now more than any other team except Chelsea (also 20). They had now scored 100 goals in the Premier League since 1 January 2021 (played 62, conceded 80).

Comments:

Brighton and Hove Albion had now won three and lost three of their opening games in their six seasons in the Premier League. Albion had now won six and lost one of their last ten games in the Premier League. Pascal Gross had now scored six goals in the Premier League against Manchester United; twice as many as had scored against any other team in the division.
