Entered at the start of the second half at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, Cristiano Ronaldo could not save Manchester United from an entry defeat in the Premier League, against Brighton (1-2).
It doesn’t work out for Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United. Still on the start, the five-time Ballon d’Or was not a starter with the Red Devils when Brighton came to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. Erik ten Hag’s team started the Premier League with a terrible defeat and “CR7” failed to save his team.
Always so crumbly (with Lisandro Martinez alongside Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane being on the bench alongside Ronaldo), the Mancunians were surprised too easily by the speed of former home Danny Welbeck and Pascal Gross took the opportunity to score a double (30th, 39th).

A csc revives Man U
The new Dutch coach, also deprived of Anthony Martial, launched Christian Eriksen in the eleven, placing him at the top, with Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford around him. But the technical inaccuracies against the Seagulls defense were a terrible handicap.
Ronaldo was kicked off in the 53rd minute and failed to convert his only opportunity past excellent goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. A scramble on a corner, with a recovery from the back of Diogo Dalot, allowed MU to revive, the csc being registered by Alexis Mac Allister (68th). The crosses towards “CR7” then gave nothing.
United will have to start their season next Saturday at Brentford, before a terrible shock against Liverpool. The Cristiano Ronaldo soap opera may not be over yet.
