Manchester United have been told they will continue to have problems with teams like Brighton until they address their glaring problem in midfield.
Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes handed United the three points in the rearranged Premier League game against the Seagulls on Tuesday night — but they were given a helping hand along the way.
Following a goalless opening 45 minutes, it was Ronaldo who seized the initiative by ending his six-game goal drought with a stunning strike that flew past Robert Sanchez.
