Manchester United Under Pressure After Brighton Defeat

Manchester United suffered a 'depressing' 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, piling pressure on manager Erik ten Hag. Brighton's Joao Pedro scored a last-minute winner, capitalizing on poor defensive organization from United. Former United players and pundits, including Gary Neville and Owen Hargreaves, criticized Ten Hag's tactical decisions and substitutions, suggesting they negatively impacted the team's performance. Ten Hag admitted his side's need for better game management and was discontent with their defensive lapses and missed chances. Despite equalizing through Amad Diallo, United's potential winning goal was ruled out by VAR for offside. The defeat highlights ongoing issues for United, who face Liverpool next in a crucial match.
