The score did not surprise me. Starting Eriksen at the striker, keeping Ronaldo in reserve in the first game? Captain Maguire? Indeed, if Manchester United continues like this, they will surely miss the last season and think 'wow that season was wonderful compared to this'. I hope we would see the old Manchester United but I don't think so. It does not suit United for such a team to lose to Brighton. Also, you are in your own field, you play 4 midfields with Bruno, your only goal hope is Rashford. If you come out with such a squad, you will lose the first half and the game. It is obvious that this year is not ManU's year.
Manchester United defeat came as a huge surprise to me and I was shocked a giant like Manchester United would lose to a team like Brighton. Not here to poke at Brighton fans but Brighton shouldn’t have been a problem to Manchester United as “on paper”, Manchester United would have won Brighton but like we all saw, Manchester United got beaten by the underdogs and on its home ground too.
I hope Manchester United won’t let this defeat determine the rest of the season and hopefully, the club would bounce back stronger
