United's poor start to the season as Brighton stun them at Old Trafford

United start the season as they ended last one. Red Devils fans were disappointed after the great enthusiasm for the start of the new season and the English club's new project with Ten Hag at the helm. 

The game did not start in the best way for the home side. The Seagulls played almost the entire first 45 minutes with a high pressing which made it difficult for the home side to get the ball out of their half. As a result, the Mancunian team hardly managed to keep the ball in the first half which allowed Brighton to feel comfortable. 

In the 30th minute, Trossard managed to find Welbeck with space thanks to a great pass, and the English striker, once close to the byline, squared the ball and Gross only had to push the ball into the net.

A few minutes later, in the 40th minute, after another great play, the managed to score the second. Solly March after a long run down the right flank. Once inside the box he dribbled past Shaw and shot across. De Gea managed to stop the shot but the rebound fell to Pascal Gross who, for the second time, only had to push the ball into the net.

In addition, one of the news of the match was that Ten Hag did not start Cristiano Ronaldo, although the Portuguese came on in the 53rd minute to replace Fred. In the second half United improved since Ronaldo came on. A few minutes later in the 63rd minute Dalot managed to close the gap after receiving the ball from a rebound and pushing the ball into the net. However, this was not enough for the home side to lose their first game of the season.
