Erik ten Hag begun his Manchester United reign with a disappointing defeat to Brighton at Old Trafford.
Pascal Gross’ first-half brace gave the Seagulls a shock 2-0 lead at half time, with the Man United fans booing their players off as they went down the tunnel.
An own goal by Alexis Mac Allister breathed new life into the contest but Ten Hag’s men were unable to find the equaliser.
The Red Devils suffered their worst campaign in Premier League history last term but there’s a sense of cautious optimism surrounding Old Trafford.
