20′: Goal. Brighton wins. They produce a powerful move through the right, and Danny Welbecks scores after a cross flies past everyone. 1-0.
“United were excellent for 19 minutes, but Brighton scored,” tweeted Samuel Luckhurst. Brighton had a two-on-one down the left but the goal came from the right, driving De Zerbi insane. Excellent blunder by Lallana from Adingra’s cross, and Welbeck went unnoticed.
Poor tracking from the middle there, and the defense once more lacked energy, according to Rasha_Rasha on Reddit. This game should not be entirely dominated by one player.
10’–15′: As Brighton advances in numbers, they are beginning to get into the game, but Martinez makes a crucial interception to thwart their move.
Slowed down now, this is where they lose the game, Invader_Zim76 @Reddit. There is no longer any pressing in Brighton’s defensive third.
6′-10′: The Red Devils’ transitions have Brighton on edge. Hojlund is unable to adequately react to Rashford’s tempting cross after Bruno sends the Englishman through the left.
“By far the best start to a game this season,” tweeted Ravishq on Reddit.
Big opportunity for Man United at six! Rashford enters the area after dribbling through the left side of many defenders, but his effort is brilliantly blocked.
Old0006 on Reddit: “We appear much more confident nowadays. Hopefully that generates one or two early goals.
Diogo Dalot fouls Tariq Lamptey on the halfway line, leading to Tariq Lamptey’s early booking. So far, United are impressive.
@Reddit: @urluckythisisnotyou “Nice to see ten hag admitted for Scottie to not being just a cdm.”
1: GO FOR IT! The game is initiated by Brighton, and in the first half, the Red Devils will assault from left to right. Sofyan Amrabat is seen in the crowd before the game, in the meantime.
Scott McTominay was given the start in today’s lineup, according to Erik ten Hag. We’re going to play a little bit differently, he remarked. Scott McTominay withdrew prior to that game, but we had already practiced with it before Arsenal.
