United slumped to a 2-1 loss against Brighton at Old Trafford in Erik ten Hag’s first Premier League game in charge, dispelling any notion that the Dutch coach could provide an instant fix to the many issues that plagued the team last season.
Manchester United looked vulnerable in defence and toothless in attack until Cristiano Ronaldo came on early in the second half. On Saturday, the Portuguese captain would be hoping to start in the playing XI.
