Brighton continues to demonstrate its high level of play in the Premier League and this Saturday they handed Manchester United a very tough defeat at Old Trafford (1-3) for the fifth round of the championship.
This is how the 2023-24 Premier League standings go
The goals on the visit were the work of Welbeck, Pascal Grob and Joao Pedro. The ‘Red Devils’ situation becomes unsustainable, since the team cannot find its way and is now nine points behind Manchester City, who won their match against West Ham (1-3).
And in that context, the United fans exploded against coach Erik Ten Hag. Losing 3-0, the Dutchman made a change that many cannot explain: he took out Hojlund to bring on Martial.
At Old Trafford they did not understand it and began to boo the manager’s decision to remove a forward who was losing at home and with 30 minutes left to bring in a footballer who could never find his place in the team.
Garnacho was on the bench and people were asking for him, but the coach preferred the Frenchman. The Argentine attacker was left without playing and the fans lost patience with Ten Hag.
Hannibal Mejbri, 20, scored Manchester United’s only goal when the match was already lost.
In this way, the English team will travel to Germany to face Bayern Munich at the start of the group stage of the Champions League, next Wednesday.
