Man United 1-2 Brighton - PLAYER RATINGS: Which star needs to get stronger? Who was anonymous in attack? And how did Shea Lacey fare after Old Trafford nightmare?
Goals from Brajan Gruda and Danny Welbeck did the damage and while Benjamin Sesko handed United a lifeline with a late header, it wasn’t enough. Exposed for the first goal and the second from Welbeck was straight out of the top drawer. Leny Yoro - 5Didn’t do a great deal wrong in an odd match where United will have felt happy with large spells of it. But watch that opening goal back and you have to ask why Martinez made the decision to leave Rutter unmarked for a free header a few yards out? Kobbie Mainoo - 5First start at Old Trafford since May and a first start of any kind since Grimsby Town away.
