Manchester United's rocky season continued Sunday with a crushing 3-1 defeat to Brighton at Old Trafford – their 10th league loss this campaign . Gambian winger Yankuba Minteh shone for the visitors, scoring one and assisting another, while goalkeeper Andre Onana's late blunder sealed United's fate.
Key Moments
Brighton struck first in the 5th minute: Kaoru Mitoma's slick pass found Minteh for an easy tap-in.
Bruno Fernandes equalized with a penalty after a clumsy Brighton challenge.
Mitoma struck again at the hour mark, outmuscling United's defense.
Onana's disastrous error gifted Brighton a third goal, leaving fans groaning.
By the Numbers
Brighton has now beaten United in 6 of their last 7 Premier League meetings.
This is United's earliest 10th league defeat since the 1989-90 season – a stat no Red Devil wants to relive.
\"Another home loss… we panic too easily,\" admitted manager Ruben Amorim. \"We need consistency, not moments.\"
The match began with a poignant tribute to late United legend Denis Law , as former manager Alex Ferguson laid a wreath at midfield. But the nostalgia couldn't inspire a comeback, leaving United languishing in 13th place – a far cry from their glory days.
