Manchester United's manager Erik ten Hag is facing renewed scrutiny following a last-minute 2-1 defeat to Brighton, marking the team's second loss in three matches this season. Despite equalizing through Amad Diallo after falling behind to Danny Welbeck's goal, United conceded a late header from Joao Pedro, sealing their fate. The match saw a disallowed goal for United due to an offside call against Joshua Zirkzee, compounding their frustrations. Former player Gary Neville has emphasized the mounting pressure on Ten Hag, particularly ahead of the crucial upcoming match against Liverpool. He criticized the team's defensive lapses, especially in the final moments, and highlighted the challenges of playing without a central forward. The loss raises further questions about Ten Hag's position at the club, as he was already under pressure after a disappointing previous season.
