Manchester United’s season has entered into turmoil after a period of turmoil 3-1 loss at home Against Brighton in the English Premier League.

United suffered a miserable defeat after goals from Yankuba Menteh, Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter at Old Trafford on Sunday handed United their 10th league defeat.

Bruno Fernandes scored for United from the penalty spot, but the hosts were not helped by a mistake by goalkeeper Andre Onana, who fired a low cross into the box, allowing Rutter to slot the loose ball into the net.

It was the seventh defeat in 15 games overall under new coach Ruben Amorim, and highlighted the enormous task the Portuguese coach has to revive the 20-time English champions’ record.

Brighton have won six of United’s last seven league games and on their last three visits to Old Trafford.

Brighton took the lead inside five minutes as Maitoma beat the offside trap on the left from a long ball from Carlos Palipa and his pass across goal provided a simple touch for the unmarked Mente.

United won a penalty kick midway through the first half when Brighton tried to play the ball outside the defence, but goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen’s pass was poor and the ball fell to Joshua Zirkzee inside the penalty area.

Paliba put his arm on the attacker’s shoulder, who fell to the ground. Referee Peter Banks pointed to the penalty spot, and Fernandes had no trouble scoring to level the score.

Brighton thought they took the lead again seven minutes into the second half when United failed to clear a low free kick inside the box and Pedro finished the ball away. But a VAR check ruled that Jan-Paul van Hecke had kicked Diogo Dalot’s foot in the altercation.

However, the visitors got a second goal on the hour mark when Maitoma stretched at the back post ahead of United defender Noussair Mazraoui to turn in Mente’s cross.

Brighton then scored the third goal thanks to Onana’s blunder to make the game safe and leave United to suffer their tenth league defeat.
