Jose Mourinho’s unhappiness with a lack of new signings has been clear for some weeks. At the Amex, the reason why he felt so let down by executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward was laid bare.
Manchester United’s defending was dire, with Bailly and Victor Lindelof doing little to convince the manager of their suitability as a long-term partnership, while Andreas Pereira and new recruit Fred were anonymous in midfield.
Disjointed as United looked, Brighton appear to be going from strength to strength under Hughton. This was an improvement on their display in last season’s 1-0 home win over the same opponents and will give the manager hope of a top-half finish this term.
Manchester United must get better, though, and quickly, or the title will start to look beyond their reach even before the race has truly begun.
