MANCHESTER, England -- Three thoughts on Manchester United's 1-0 win over Brighton as they continued their fine home form but struggled to impress.
1. Laboured United get lucky
The best that could be said about Manchester United is that this was the kind of match they drew last season. For long periods their labours brought back memories of matches against Burnley, Stoke, Bournemouth and Swansea, where a smaller club escaped Old Trafford with a point after Jose Mourinho's team struggled to find a winner.
Brighton were good value for a share of the spoils and will curse their rotten luck.
