Régis Le Bris' side have enjoyed an encouraging return to topflight football, sitting in the top half of the table after seven games. Wins over West Ham United, Brentford and Nottingham Forest - coupled with an unbeaten home record-have underlined a strong start.

The loss at Old Trafford, however, was only Sunderland's second defeat of the campaign. Despite the setback, Le Fée believes it offers valuable lessons rather than cause for concern.

"We didn't have a good answer on the pitch. We need to improve on that," the French midfielder said.
