Manchester United captain Harry Maguire admitted that his side 'looked far too open' during their poor 2-1 defeat to Brighton on the opening Sunday of the Premier League season.
Pascal Gross scored twice in the first half to put Man United 2-0 behind at the break, handing Erik ten Hag a tricky first half-time team talk during his debut match in charge.
Wantaway Cristiano Ronaldo came on in the second-half and the Red Devils clawed one back through an Alexis Mac Allister own goal in the 68th minute, but Ten Hag's side were ultimately unable to break Brighton down again and find an equaliser.
