Erik ten Hag left in no doubt about dismal issue that Man Utd must improve next season

A last-gasp 99th minute penalty from Alexis Mac Allister earned Brighton a 1-0 win over Manchester United on Thursday, with the result further highlighting one of United's biggest weaknesses this season.

United have a woeful record when travelling to face the other top nine Premier League teams, having picked up just a solitary point in eight fixtures. They have also conceded a whopping 28 times in those games, only scoring eight goals themselves.

United were thumped 6-3 by Manchester City at the Etihad back in October and then utterly thrashed 7-0 by Liverpool at Anfield in March. Brentford also put four past United in manager Erik ten Hag's first away game in charge last August.
