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
Honestly it's like Man Utd unconvincing performances of last season is about to continue this season without any changes yet, It's unbelievable that a star-studded club like Man Utd will lose even at Old Trafford to lowly rated Brighton, however I believe there is room for improvement, I am very sure Erik Ten might have taken notice of the tactical lapses recorded in their last match and prevent will it as well as correcting it, as the team play Brentford in their next fixture, I am expecting a more improve Man Utd squad who will try to redeem their image and make their fans happy once again.
