United 1 Brighton 2 (Manchester United)

The Reds are undone on opening day by the Seagulls and two first-half Pascal Gross goals.

However, with just over 20 minutes to go, the lead was halved, as a Fernandes corner was eventually turned into his own net by Alexis Mac Allister, as M16 rose once more in an attempt to spur on Ten Hag's men. Cristiano Ronaldo was introduced shortly after, as Ten Hag looked to fashion a way for his side to get back into the game. Gross added both his and Brighton's second just 10 minutes later, as the Reds were left with much work to do heading into the second half. Although the flag went up, replays seemed to suggest Ronaldo was onside and it would have counted. Christian Eriksen then almost topped off a superb flowing counter-attack with Ten Hag's side beginning to edge the early stages. VAR provided a long check as Sanchez appealed for a foul, and there was a review as to whether the ball inadvertently struck Dalot's arm before the keeper cannoned the ball into his own goal off Mac Allister.

Manchester United vs. Brighton & Hove Albion - Football Match ... (ESPN)

Get a report of the Manchester United vs. Brighton & Hove Albion 2022-23 English Premier League football match.

"I thought we had an idea of how to attack and when we could we tried to press and put them under pressure. It took Brighton 30 minutes to break United in a spell where they were putting on most of the pressure. "We went into the game positive, we had a good preseason and it was the worst possible start to be 2-0 down at half-time at Old Trafford. Not good enough. "We started pretty the game well and on the front foot and as a team we had control of the game. It was a nightmare start to be 2-0 down at half-time." "We need to look at not letting that first goal set us back as much as it did.

We gave two easy balls away and it was not good in the organisation." We should do better." We lost and it was not necessary. Erik ten Hag: "We made mistakes on the ball and organisation mistakes in defending. We have to take the lessons and learn quickly from it.” “It is clear to see the second half we were better in midfield with Eriksen down and Ronaldo up.

Manchester United vs Brighton LIVE (Manchester Evening News)

Manchester United lost to Brighton at Old Trafford in Erik ten Hag's first Premier League game as manager.

This is further evidence of what a good coach Potter is because the Brighton line-up is not as impressive as it was at the end of last season. The sloppy passes can be passed off as new season teething problems, but it is crucial they stamp out such sloppiness soon. It’s been a pretty even game so far and United are riding their luck a little bit at the back. They need a midfielder and a forward, at the very least McTominay dawdles on the ball in the middle of the field which allows Caicedo to nip in and he follows through on the Brighton man, planting his studs into his ankle. They need an attacking presence up front, and they have one on the bench. United are devoid of ideas and Fred has just fired an ambitious effort way over the bar from 25-yards. The flag goes up anyway but it's certainly tight. Gross scores again. Dalot cuts inside and has a shot that Sanchez spills. 5 #Ad: Get a £30 FREE BET if your first acca loses!

Manchester United optimism quickly snuffed out by return of old ... (The Guardian)

The manager is new and Cristiano Ronaldo did not start but none of that fixed problems that have haunted United for years.

Into which chaos Ronaldo was introduced – to a mix of boos and cheers – eight minutes into the second half. Ten Hag’s Night of the Long Kitchen Knives, culling the squad’s personal chefs in an effort to improve nutrition and refocus minds on the club, may have made his players fitter, but their pressing was no better than it had been in the worst days of last season. Early in the second half, Marcus Rashford allowed a simple pass to roll under his foot and out for a throw-in. But Brighton outplayed United for long periods and might, in truth, have won more comfortably, particularly had Lisandro Martínez been penalised for what seemed an obvious barge in the box on Danny Welbeck. All the familiar late United surge achieved was to reduce the margin of defeat to 2-1. His two England forwards, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, were outshone by the largely forgotten Welbeck, who kept plucking passes out of the sky with a deftness that suggested his boots had been fashioned from Niall Quinn’s chest. The face of the new manager glaring from the scarves stretched out on the stalls on Matt Busby Way. A distinct buzz in the air.
