There were expectations that Ten Hag’s men would bounce back from the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal before the international break, but the hosts were trailing Brighton by a goal at halftime, courtesy of former Man Utd player, Danny Welbeck.

New signing Rasmus Hojlund, thought he’d equalized but the goal was chalked off after a VAR review.
After the break, Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro took the deficit to 3-0.
Substitute, Hannibal Mejbri, got a beautiful consolation goal for the Red Devils minutes after Brighton’s third goal, as the disappointed home fans watched their teams suffer the first defeat at Old Trafford in 32 games.
Manchester United have lost at home for the first time in 32 games in all competitions. Their last defeat at home came on the 8th of September 2022, against Real Sociedad.
