Erik ten Hag's Manchester United reign got off to the worst possible start last weekend when Brighton sprung a surprise and registered their first win at Old Trafford in over 40 years.
Except - just how truly surprising the Seagulls' victory actually was is up for debate, which in itself is a damning indictment of both how far United have fallen and how much work Ten Hag has to do to restore them to their former glories.
The Old Trafford faithful were silenced by a first-half brace from Pascal Gross and jeered their side down the tunnel at the interval stage. There was no second-half comeback, with United's consolation goal coming in the form of a scrappy Alexis Mac Allister own goal before the game ended 2-1 to the visitors.
