Erik ten Hag told the one player Manchester United ‘missed’ in Brighton defeat

Jamie Redknapp believes Manchester United lacked Christian Eriksen’s “calmness” in their 1-0 defeat to Brighton.

Erik ten Hag decided against playing the Dane at the Amex, with him watching on from the sidelines for the entire 90 minutes. Instead, Fred was preferred to partner Casemiro in midfield but was outbattled by Billy Gilmour and Alexis Mac Allister.

The latter scored a 99th-minute penalty to sink the Red Devils and raise more questions about their form on the road. Man United face another tricky test away from home against West Ham this weekend.
