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

🎯 Bruno Fernandes equalized with a penalty after a clumsy Brighton challenge.
🔥 Mitoma struck again at the hour mark, outmuscling United's defense.

By the Numbers

📅 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.
