The defense line was still quite problematic in the match so they had to accept defeat. Even Brighton's winning goal came from Man United's poor defense because they did not guard the player who was standing empty in the corner. As far as I have seen in the last five meetings between the two, Man United have only been able to win one match and this is a pretty bad result for Erik Ten Hak.
Brighton was able to match Man United's game and I think this is a weak point that needs to be fixed by Erik Ten Hak. If they lose against a team like this, it will be much more difficult when facing other strong teams in other matches.
Correct. And in essence, when Man United even looks difficult when facing Brighton, I don't think we can expect Man United to win when they face strong teams like Arsenal and Liverpool. I exclude Man city. Because somehow when Man United meets Man City we will see Man United playing quite well.
And in the third week Man United must prepare to face one of the strongest teams, namely Liverpool. Maybe in this match Man United benefited from being the host. But I don't want to say that they will be favorites in this match. Unless Liverpool also played just as badly in today's match against Brentford. But I believe today Liverpool will add 3 points back by beating Brentford.
