After these results, there was also a blunder from Harry Maguire who captained Man United in that match. As the leader of his team, Maguire made a mistake before the game even started.
So, before entering the field, the players of the two teams usually lined up backwards following the captain of their respective teams. For this, Sportbible mentions: Manchester United have a tradition of standing in line.
However, Harry Maguire seems to have made a mistake in choosing a standing position in front of the other Man United players. David De Gea who reminded while looking a little nagged.
In the video that circulated and went viral, De Gea, who was standing behind Maguire, seemed to protest angrily at Maguire. De Gea grumbled as he pointed to the left, where the Brighton team lined up next to them. He indicated to remind Maguire that United’s lineup should be where the Brighton players lined up.
There is one suspicion that arises regarding Maguire’s blunder. This relates to the swapping of the dugout position, the player and manager seat area in the stadium stands, between the home and away teams at Old Trafford.
Place the dugout Manchester United now where the away team were before, which is also closer to the Stretford End and the tunnel.
