'I know the problem' - Luke Shaw gives brutally honest assessment of Manchester United's season

Luke Shaw rued Manchester United's wastefulness in front of goal following their 1-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Thursday evening.

Alexis Mac Allister struck a dramatic 99th-minute penalty to seal all three points for the Seagulls after Shaw appeared to handle the ball inside the penalty area. Referee Andre Marriner was advised to go over to the pitchside monitor and he deemed that the England defender had made contact with the ball with his hand, handing Mac Allister the chance to seal a precious victory for the home side.

Although United had been under the cosh in the latter stages of the contest, they had created a collection of good chances to punish Brighton at the other end, particularly in the first half. Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes were all guilty of spurning good opportunities.
