Manchester United's humiliation at Brighton on Saturday night represents the low point of their time in the Premier League.

They have suffered heavier defeats - such as 6-1 home thrashings by Manchester City and Tottenham, plus a 5-0 drubbing by bitter rivals Liverpool this season - but this 4-0 reverse was the nadir.

It means that United will end this season with their lowest points return in the post-1992 era and they may yet suffer the indignity of playing in the UEFA Europa Conference League next term.
