Fans mock Manchester United after dreadful first half against Brighton for Erik ten Hag's men... as they slam his 'shambolic' midfield and label it the WORST in the league

Manchester United fans have decried their team's first half performance after Erik ten Hag's tenure got off to the worst possible start at home to Brighton losing 2-1.

Two goals from Pascal Gross gave Brighton a more than deserved two-goal lead at the break at Old Trafford with the United faithful booing the team off in Ten Hag's first competitive fixture in charge. An own from Alex Mac Allister 20 minutes from the end gave United hope but Brighton held out for the win.

Fans on social media appeared resigned to the performance, with one writing 'new season, same old Manchester United'.
