Manchester United have now won each of their last six meetings with Brighton in all competitions. But in a lackluster opening 45 minutes, where United failed to register a single shot on target, the Reds went behind, Danny Welbeck scoring his 50th goal at the same end were thirteen years earlier he had scored his […]
In my last article for the game against West Ham, I had underlined how Mason Greenwood was getting into the groove with his performances and while he was unlucky to hit the woodwork twice in that match, Mason was showing good touches and I asked whether he could be our winning card in the last […]
So once again our ‘other’ eleven did us proud, with Ole opting for ten changes from the team that had beaten Brighton on the same pitch last Saturday. Only Lindelof retained his place. In torrential rain, United maintained control of the match, without the controversies of 5 days ago. My Man of the Match has […]

United could not risk losing any points, as victory for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side was necessary to leapfrog Wolves into fifth place in […]

I sincerely cannot remember United being so dominant in the Premier League during the last seven years – particularly away from home – as they have been in those first 45 minutes against Brighton. We played some incredible possession football, very different from […]
Manchester United had never lost in their 11 previous home meetings with Brighton in all competitions, winning nine and drawing two. In the days of Sir Alex Ferguson, such game would have been considered as something of a walkover. However, defeats to Crystal Palace, West Ham, Newcastle and Bournemouth already this season have changed all […]
1. Difficult to highlight just three points from today’s game against Brighton at Old Trafford. The first one to underline has to be how devastating can United’s counterattack be.
