MANCHESTER -- The Erik ten Hag era at Manchester United has promised a lot since the former Ajax manager arrived at the end of the 2021-22 season, but the 2022-23 season has begun with the same kind of performance and the same kind of result.
Cristiano Ronaldo began the game on the bench and Pascal Gross scored twice in the first half to give Brighton a lead they'd hang onto even after a second-half own goal by Alexis Mac Allister. Brighton's 2-1 win marks their first victory ever at Old Trafford.
