16 September 2023 at 17:59 Manchester United crisis after another blow Manchester United suffered their third league defeat of the season when Brighton won 3–1 at Old Trafford in the English elite series on Saturday. It is a historically weak start for Manchester United in the Premier League’s roughly 30-year history. – This one is heavy. We must take a look at ourselves. We changed some things, but we are disappointed, says Manchester United player Christian Eriksen to the BBC after the match. The previous home loss was a year ago, but now it is critical for Manchester United. The big club has collected only six points in this year’s season. Among other things, there are nine points up on league leader Manchester City. Danny Welbeck, Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro gave Brighton a 3-0 lead before 20-year-old Hannibal Mejbri scored the Reds’ consolation goal on Saturday. The 1–3 loss means that Manchester United are now in 12th place in the table. It made for a difficult start after the national team stay and a period characterized by non-sporting noise for United manager Erik ten Hag. – It is difficult for us in this period. We haven’t had the margins on our side, but we will fight back. and if we stick together, play as a team and stick to the rules, we will come back, says ten Hag to the BBC. Among other things, the United manager has recently ended up in a war of words with his own star player Jadon Sancho. Their Brazilian player Antony has also been accused and investigated for violence. On Saturday, ten Hag saw his students go to work offensively against Brighton, but inefficiency and weak defense played havoc for the hosts. – Every match at the start of the season is important, no matter who you play against. We focus on our matches and whoever we play we want to win. But we have already lost three, and we have to change that, says Eriksen. (news/NTB)
