Tommy Docherty masterminded Manchester United’s return to the top flight of English football. The Red Devils endured a year in the wilderness before climbing back to the first division. The 1974-75 season marked the last time the Old Trafford side played in the second tier—an almost unthinkable relegation given the club’s later dominance in the 1990s and 2000s.

Manchester United’s fifth defeat in six Premier League games is ‘relegation form,’ according to Jamie Carragher. The Red Devils were beaten 2-0 by Newcastle on Monday night at Old Trafford as their nightmare run of results under new manager Ruben Amorim continued.

Four consecutive losses in all competitions, Liverpool up next, things are looking grim for Manchester United.
