MANCHESTER, England -- After an international break filled with controversy and club statements, Manchester United got an opportunity to let their football do the talking. Rather than taking a positive step forward to help steady the ship, Erik ten Hag and his team were plunged further into crisis by Brighton & Hove Albion.
Roberto De Zerbi's side won 3-1 to end United's 31-match unbeaten run at Old Trafford in their first game since Jadon Sancho was banished from first-team training and Antony was given a leave of absence amid allegations of abuse made against the winger.
