PLAYER RATINGS: Brighton's Welbeck ran Lisandro Martinez ragged at Old Trafford
Manchester United suffered a 3-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday afternoon after a dismal display saw the Seagulls cruise to victory at Old Trafford.
Danny Welbeck opened the scoring for Brighton in the first 19 minutes of the game to give the Seagulls the advantage and register his fifth goal against the Red Devils.
Rasmus Hojlund thought he clawed one back for United just before the break but his goal was chalked off after the ball was deemed out of play when Marcus Rashford made the cross.
Pascal Gross extended Brighton's lead in the 53rd minute before Joao Pedro added their third and final goal in the 71st minute.
Hannibal Mejbri did manage to claw back a consolation goal for Manchester United but it wasn't enough to earn them any points on a disappointing day at Old Trafford.
Below, Mail Sport's Nathan Salt analyse how the players from each team performed.
Hard to penalise a goalkeeper too much when those in front of him are not doing their jobs. Could do nothing about the three goals. Huge save low to his left when Fati raced through one-on-one when he should have made it four.
Kept Karou Mitoma pretty quiet which is no mean feat. Started brightly but much like United he faded as the game wore on.
Back in the side after going off against Arsenal and plenty was expected but this was a tough afternoon. Danny Welbeck got the better of him while he was on the pitch. Taken off before the end.
His partnership with Martinez needs work and with Raphael Varane sidelined and Harry Maguire out of favour, Lindelof is going to have to step up - and fast.
Making his Manchester United debut but offered little by way of attack or defence. Simon Adingra had a field day and got in behind him to cross for the opener.
Midfield is a real problem
