Brighton sent United home in shame and deservedly won 4-0 in Saturday’s Premier League clash.
– We’re shy
Moisés Caicedo scored the first goal of the game, before Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard completed the humiliation after halftime.
– They’re playing us. They always have a solution. A little bit of everything went wrong. Quality, mentality. “This is something we are ashamed of and have to see,” said Bruno Fernandes after the game, according to the BBC.
Manchester United substitute manager Ralf Rangnick also lay flat.
– We can only apologize to the fans who came all the way here, we really weren’t good enough, Rangnick told the BBC, adding that he sometimes thought it looked like the players had taken a summer break.
– Embarrassing to look at
This was Brighton’s first home win of 2022, a very unexpected and impressive win for a team known for not winning at home.
And an even bigger mistake for a United team who before the season had ambitions to be at the top.
– In the name of heaven! Brighton play fantastic football, but otherwise, United may have had their worst form of the season. And that’s a bit of an achievement, football profile Gary Lineker wrote on Twitter about United’s blunder on Saturday night.
– It is a shame to see United in this constitution, is the clear verdict of former Premier League player Lars Bohinen.

It was a completely dark night for United, who now have no theoretical chance of clinching a top four position that will feature a game in the Champions League next season.
Against the players themselves
“You don’t deserve the shirt”, was echoed from away fans to their own players as 0-4 became a fact in the second half.
The absence of United, recognized as one of the best in England, turning against their own team in this way, is a rare one.
But then it’s also one of those rare things that United have been teased in the same way as on Saturday night.
Bruno Fernandes understood that the screams were coming.
– I included myself in it. “What we did today, and what I did today, was not good enough to wear the United shirt,” he said.
One can only imagine what United manager Erik ten Hag was thinking. He no doubt has a job to do if the Red Devils are to be a winning team again.
There is now only one game left of a terrible season for the Old Trafford club. United end the season with an away game against Crystal Palace on 22 May.
