New season, same full-time mood.
Manchester United made the worst possible start to the Erik ten Hag era on Sunday afternoon, losing 2-1 to Brighton at Old Trafford in their 2022/23 Premier League opener. Pascal Gross, who so often thrives when facing United, fired the Seagulls into a two-goal lead at half-time, netting an instinctive brace.
United, facing an uphill struggle, did source a route back into the contest just past the midway point of the second half courtesy of an Alexis Mac Allister own-goal. The Argentine put the ball into his own net after Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez flapped at Bruno Fernandes' corner.
