Man United 1 vs 2 Brighton, was the first away game for Man United. This loss shows United yet to recover and learn from the past mistakes in the last season. Fans are very angry with the Manager Erik Ten Hag about the selection of the team and the game management. Bruno substituted for Mctominay was turning point of the game. Man United has long way to go as a team as this is just the 2nd game of this season.
Match Analysis:
Man United vs Brighton was the first home game for Brighton. A very good performance from Brighton. Danny Welbeck and James Milner gave very good performance.
Man united defence was totally scattered. United players couldn´t play as a team. Defence line is totally responsible for both the goals as United continue to show same form as last season. Red Devils´ attacking play was very poor – no pace/movement or quick interplays. It’s no wonder united struggled to score.
Erik Ten Hag is seriously lacking strategy about whom to play. Red Devils are not starting with Striker. This shows their confusion over Zirkzee. However, Zirkzee is playing great on the field. He is also supporting the team to play from the back. As he said he is 9.5.
Though Man United has signed new defenders, their defence line is lacking the quality and defensive awareness. There is no right connect between defence and midfield. On a serious note, how Utd starting games with Bruno and Mount upfront is puzzling. Surely there is a lack of tactical play and game management by the Manager. Only positive Man United have is Mainoo who is playing amazing.
