The worries of Man United fans about the team's situation after the FIFA Days break quickly became a reality. Man United entered the match against their long-time rivals Brighton with a patchwork squad due to too many injuries to key players and the players' spirit was down after many scandals related to Mason Greenwood, Jadon Sancho, Antony...
Man United's disastrous match at Old Trafford
It was no surprise that Erik Ten Hag's team lost 1-3 at Old Trafford. The player who opened the score for Brighton was Danny Welbeck, a player who was once abandoned by Man United and often scored against his former team when they met again.
Conceding three goals all from situations where the defense almost opened up the goal for the opponent to shoot, Man United only earned an honorary goal with a long-range shot from young talent Hannibal Mejbri.
Brighton is truly the "nemesis" of Man United
The post-match statistics pages released many related parameters that made Man United even more sad. The team under coach Erik ten Hag was recorded to have the worst start in Man United's history in the Premier League. Three out of five opening matches ended in heartbreaking defeats (0-2 to Tottenham, 1-3 to Arsenal, 1-3 to Brighton), making Erik ten Hag the "unluckiest" Man United coach in the history of participating in the Premier League.

With 6 points, Man United has been pushed down to 13th place on the rankings and could fall another place if Chelsea plays and wins this round. After only 5 matches, Man United is 9 points behind the leader Man City.
Coach Erik ten Hag worried about his seat at Man United
Despite being very worried about his own "hot seat" after a series of bad matches, coach Erik ten Hag still said firmly: "Man United is not in crisis. Where did it come from? There is disappointment and we are very upset with ourselves because at Man United, there is only one requirement: you have to win every match. Man United is preparing for an important week when they have to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League in the middle of next week and then visit Burnley at the weekend. There are things that the collective and individuals have to work hard to face and solve. We have not done well in this but we can completely reproduce what we achieved last year. We do not blame anyone, we have to do it ourselves and do better, more determined, more resilient".
"Old friend" Danny Welbeck scores every time he meets Man United
In the 2013-2014 season (under coach David Moyes) and 2018-2019 (under coach Jose Mourinho), Man United only lost 2 of the opening five rounds. Even when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer led the 2021-2022 season, the "Red Devils" won 4 victories and 1 draw after the opening five rounds.
Andre Onana is the goalkeeper who has conceded the most goals at the beginning of the season at Man United
These are worrying statistics for coach Erik ten Hag, signaling troubled days ahead. In the three seasons mentioned above, all of Man United's coaches were fired.
Pressure is weighing heavily on Erik ten Hag's shoulders and if the Dutch coach does not quickly bring the "Red Devils" back on track with winning habits, what color the future holds for him is clear to everyone.
