Different dugout - same dire, desperate, dismal Manchester United.
Erik ten Hag decided to switch the home bench to be closer to the Stretford End but it turned out that was the only change he has introduced. First things first, let nothing dilute the excellence of Brighton and the brilliance of Graham Potter, who welcomed his new Dutch adversary with a tactical masterclass.
And let nothing detract from the two smart Pascal Gross goals that gave the visitors their first-ever win at Old Trafford. But in case any supporters had their memories erased by the arrival of Ten Hag and by some pleasant summer kickabouts, this was a grisly reminder of just how stunningly mediocre this United squad has become.
