United was lucky to have won yesterday. Brighton was a far better team before the red card and that De Gea's save at the end of the 1st half was truly world class.
At the end when Brighton was left with 10 men individual quality came through - but United will have to play a lot better than this if they want to keep the top 4 position they climbed into with yesterday's win.
Manchester United managed to get a win after their 2 matches ended in a draw. Ronaldo became the hero of their victory, through his kick which ended in goals and also Bruno Fernandez's goal which sealed the victory. Even though they managed to win, they haven't shown a promising game. It was evident from Brighton's attack which was able to penetrate the Manchester United defense.
In the future, Manchester United must be able to play better than today's match.
Of course, if you look at the overall game, Manchester United still haven't shown their best performance and they really benefited from a Brighton red card in the 54th minute.
but I think this win is very helpful to improve their mentality and confidence for the next match, considering the competition in the top 4 is currently very tight and Manchester United are required to continue to show consistency if they don't want to lose their UCL ticket this season.
Had Brighton scored and converted their clear cutting chances obviously they might not have lost their match against Man Utd, kudos to DeGea for a point blank save in the first half, I did watch both Man Utd and PSG matches, I didn't see any noticeable difference in Man Utd performance compared to their previous matches, they are just lucky to win the match, in fact after a Brighton player was redcarded for a foul against Elanga, Brighton continued to press Man Utd unfortunately couldn't equalize, however conceded the second goal, Man Utd need to up their games else they would not clinch top 4 spot.
