Man Utd 1-2 Brighton:  Red Devils Woes Continues 

Manchester United misfortunes continues as they suffer defeat at home to start their EPL journey. Erik ten Hag endured a bitter reminder of the size of the job he has on his hands at Manchester United as his first game in charge ended in a 2-1 defeat to Brighton at Old Trafford.

Expectations were high as the Dutchman was brought to the club in the summer to begin a rebuild on the back as it he was expected to have the Red Devil up and running.

Starting with Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, United were thoroughly outplayed in the first half as two Pascal Gross goals in the space of nine minutes gave the Seagulls a deserved lead.

Ten Hag’s men did improve after the break once Ronaldo had come on, but only found the back of the net through an Alexis Mac Allister own goal and were unable to get a leveller.

It was a worthy three points for Brighton, who have high expectations this season despite losing key players in the summer, and they enjoyed a first-ever win at Old Trafford.
