The players at Old Trafford were assessed according to how they performed in Man United’s Premier League loss to Brighton.

Andre Onana

Danny Welbeck and Pascal Gross both had impressive victories over them. Possibly could have achieved the third goal. 5

Diogo Dalot

defended his decision to transfer to right-back and carefully followed Kaoru Mitoma. Marcus Rashford needed to cross for a chance. 6

Victor Lindelof

Lindelof was in his sloppiest form for a time as a result of Brighton’s fluid mobility. Cannot be certain of preserving his position. 4

Lopez Martinez

Still not performing at last season’s level, and Raphael Varane’s return may be the last time that this does. bowed to Pascal Gross’s ruse. 5

Reguilon, Sergio

had a great start, but Brighton took advantage of his zeal to score the game’s first goal, and Reguilon’s rustiness became clear in the second half. 5

Stephen McTominay

Performed a function that wasn’t clearly defined as United effectively played without a right winger. He gave nothing and had clear limitations. 3

Casemiro

Sprayed the occasional good pass, although he was occasionally slow to react and missed Welbeck. 5

Fernando Bruno

His issue was trying to cover every blade of grass. overcompensated and received a booking at the end of the first half. 4

Eriksen, Christian

began well but sagged off, and once Brighton took the lead, Eriksen found it difficult to have any impact on the game. 5

Marc-Andre Riesch

Rasmus Hojlund may have scored in his entire debut but for his propensity to overdo things with his close to ten shots. At times, his body language was far too nasty. 5

Robert Hojlund

Rashford had taken the ball past the goal line when he thought he had scored. At 0-0, he made an effort and had a chance to connect with Rashford’s cross.

Subs

Martin Anthony

Having to be told to prepare more quickly. 4

Theodore Mejbri

United’s first goal was good. 7

Javier Garnacho

had too little time and made too many mistakes. 4

Pellistri Facundo

Unlucky not to begin. 5

Wan-Bissaka Aaron

tardy arrival

Manager

Although United made an inventive effort to play without a natural right-sided forward, Brighton took advantage of their narrow formation and the midfield once more became free. He made questionable substitutions, both in terms of time and character. 4
