Manchester United told to sign '15 new players' in transfer window after Brighton hammering

Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor believes Manchester United need to sign "15 new players" this summer following Saturday's dismal 4-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.

United travelled to the Amex Stadium looking to build on their 3-0 win over Brentford five days earlier and were blown away by a Brighton side that had not won at home since Boxing Day. Moises Caicedo, who was a target for United last year, swept the Seagulls into a first-half lead before Graham Potter's side produced a devastating 11-minute spell after half-time.

Marc Cucurella scored just four minutes after the interval to double Brighton's lead, signalling the beginning of an onslaught. Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard each found the back of the net before the clock struck the hour-mark to fire the home side into a 4-0 lead.
