BRIGHTON, England -- For all the talk of a reset under Erik ten Hag, there was a sense of horrible inevitability and familiarity hovering over Manchester United's 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on a sodden south coast on Saturday.

Defensively United were far too porous and though they will point to their unfortunate disallowed goal they managed to self-destruct as Joao Pedro was left unmarked at the back post to head home the winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time. It will make for horror viewing in the postmatch analysis when the squad gets back to Carrington.
