Manchester United suffered a heavy defeat at home to Brighton on Sunday, with away winger Yankuba Minteh scoring and creating a goal, and the home goalkeeper Andre Onana's mistake made things worse.


Brighton also scored in the second half, with goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter, and Joao Pedro's goal was also ruled out as an offensive foul by VAR.


Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty for Manchester United to tie the score at 1-1 at halftime, but after Brighton took the lead for the second time, Onana sent a low pass into the penalty area and Rutter easily scored the ball into the goal.


Brighton moved up to ninth place with 34 points, four points behind the top four. Manchester United also ranked 13th with 26 points from 22 games.


"Another loss at home. It's not acceptable, the way we conceded the goals. We can play some football but in small spaces of time, it's not consistent, and we get nervous and then we concede a goal," United manager Ruben Amorim said.
