Manchester United vs Brighton LIVE Score Updates. Live streaming update.
As one of the hordes deriving immensee njoyment from the quagmire Manchester United has become, I’m having a good morning,” says Eric Peterson. “But I can’t help but wonder, what if Ronaldo comes off the bench, scores a hat trick and salvages a win? What better way to make the inevitably necessary removal of CR7’s toxic impact on the club even more complicated? Yep, playing the long game here.”
Shaw had a role to play in both goals,” says Michael Moore. “Wasn’t aware of Gross coming in behind him for the first, and didn’t do enough to challenge March on his shot which led to the second.”
I’d bring Malacia on now. I’ve never really understood the fuss about Shaw. He had one season when he was really good; that’s about it. Ultimately he’s not good en
Half time: Man Utd 0-2 Brighton
The soap opera is back. United are booed off (!) after an increasingly miserable first 45 minutes under Erik ten Hag. Bruno Fernandes missed a sitter early on, but Brighton were the smoother team and Pascal Gross finished off a couple of precise, penetrative moves. Brighton have been terrific; United have been a bit last season.
Pascal Gross gets his second after a brilliant team move! It started by the corner flag on the Brighton left, from where they worked the ball precisely down the field and then across to March on the right side of the area. He cut inside Shaw and drove a low shot that was pushed back into a dangerous area by the possibly unsighted de Gea. Fred was slow to react and Gross got there first to crash the ball into the roof of the net.
27 min Caicedo is on his feet and looks fine, which is a pleasant surprise. McTominay overran the ball, then charged into an old-fashioned tackle. He won the ball but followed through onto Caicedo’s ankle. He could have been sent off for that – I suspect VAR would have stuck with the original decision whether it had been a yellow or a red card.
30 min “Good morning Rob, Good morning everyone,” says Adam Roberts. “Watching the pre-match interview, it struck me that United couldn’t get Pep so went for someone who resembles him.”
As a proud member of the bald community, I resent that.
