Man United vs Brighton

Follow live coverage as Erik ten Hag manages his first match at Old Trafford to get their 2022/23 campaign underway against the Seagulls.

A cynical view of that might be this is the sort of thing that always happens with a new manager, of course, but the more salient point is that the level of coaching is not something this United squad have experienced. He is the first managerial appointment since Sir Alex Ferguson retired that is both on an upward curve in his career and at the forefront of the game’s methods. There is clarity and - above all - authority. Earlier this month, Marca revealed that De Jong agreed to defer approximately €17m in wages when extending his deal during the pandemic. To do so while refusing to pay him wages that he is owed is another entirely. There is imagination and improvement. For a financially-challenged club like Barça to push a player out so that they can fund a summer of extravagant spending is one thing. Graham Potter is hoping to absorb the recent blow after selling star full-back Marc Cucurella to Chelsea for £60 million, and the Seagulls will be eyeing up a top-half finish. “A club spending fortunes on new players whilst not paying the ones they have under contract their full money is immoral and a breach. If the long and protracted Frenkie de Jong transfer saga has not already been messy enough, there is one way of making it a whole lot messier. @FIFPRO should be all over bullying like this and stop it.” Follow all the latest updates from Old Trafford:

As it has so often been, it will have to become a fortress once again this season if Erik ten Hag is to achieve his aspirations. Well, we have got the full explanation below, courtesy of our man on the ground. Although, there are plenty of other intriguing decisions for the Dutchman to make. The first Premier League starting XI of the Ten Hag era will be announced in just under half an hour. He has often be the scapegoat for fans looking to vent their frustration at an underperforming team but it certainly hasn't always been his fault. At the age of 31, Welbeck has never been more settled and more fit than he is right now. There are debuts for Eriksen and Martinez but, most notably, Ronaldo is only good enough for a place among the substitutes. They are once again protesting against the American owners on their way to Old Trafford this afternoon. "Of course, you need a pre-season to get started and be ready for the first game," he said. Rashford may well be the man leading the line and, regardless of where he's playing, he needs a big performance. "We keep our feet on the ground, we understand the competition we're in and how competitive everything is here in the Premier League," Potter said. Brighton have gone from strength-to-strength under the stewardship of Potter in this last few years.

Will Erik ten Hag begin life at Old Trafford with a Premier League win? Join Rob Smyth to find out.

50 min Rashford has a shot blocked; then United appeal for handball against Lallana in the area. 57 min It’s getting a bit tetchy, at least on the United side. 48 min: Chance for Welbeck! It could be 3-0 to Brighton. Trossard lofts a cross towards Welbeck, who gets in front of Martinez at the near post and heads wide from eight yards. 54 min Martinez shoves Welbeck over in the area, a challenge so needless it’s almost weird. 60 min Sanchez makes a brilliant save from Rashford! The flag went up subsequently, but I’m not sure it was offside. 65 min Ronaldo releases Dalot on the right, but his cutback is wtretched. Dalot cuts inside from the left (yep) and hits a fairly routine shot that is spilled by Sanchez. Happily for him, it falls to Lallana rather than a United player. 66 min “I’ve not seen a crucial decision bottled like that at Old Trafford since the heyday of Alex Ferguson,” says Thomas Atkins on the Martinez/Welbeck challenge in the 54th minute. The corner leads a goal! 76 min Martinez whistles a long-range shot just over the bar. It’s a deserved victory against a disjointed, desperate United side who showed Erik ten Hag the size of the task ahead. He smashes a cross-shot that is brilliantly blocked by the stretching Dunk!

Of course, a couple of dozy passes near the edge of their own box might have already seen United fall behind. The former England forward duly falls over himself and another promising Brighton position comes to nought. Martinez slips trying to cut out a through ball and Welbeck is in down the right channel on his own stomping ground. That's been on the cards a little bit a Brighton pick United apart down their right flank. The former United forward really has been excellent so far. Brighton carve United apart with a move that started on their own byline.

Manchester United kick off their 2022/23 Premier League campaign with they take on Brighton at Old Trafford this afternoon. Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Scott McTominay starts in midfield along with Fred so Donny van de Beek has to make do with a place among the substitutes this afternoon. Marcus Rashford gets a start and is expected to lead the line up front.

Manchester United host Brighton on Sunday at Old Trafford as the Erik ten Hag era begins amid plenty of hope and intrigue.

The main issue has been scoring goals consistently and if they can do that this season, (new signing Deniz Undav will help with that) the Seagulls could be the team that disrupts the top six and pushes for European qualification. The main storyline around United this summer is Cristiano Ronaldo wanting to leave but it looks like he could actually start on Sunday as Anthony Martial (who has been very impressive in preseason) has a small injury. As for Brighton, well, Graham Potter’s side are trying to better their best-ever top flight finish of ninth from last season but they will have to do so without Marc Cucurella, who they sold to Chelsea for a deal which could be worth up to $75 million.

Martinez slips trying to cut out a through ball and Welbeck is in down the right channel on his own stomping ground. 9th minute: Trossard seems well-versed in the ways of Ten Hagball and the challenges it might present to Untied's players over these opening weeks. Halftime: Brighton go in 2-0 to the good and are very good value for their advantage. The cross is on a silver platter for Rashford but Sanchez gets out and spreads himself to complete a truly stunning piece of goalkeeping. 53rd minute: Fred is the man to make way and he looks considerably less than gruntled as he sits down on the bench. Sanchez produced heroics to deny Rashford but he's made a hash of that corner and Dalot scrambles the ball towards goal. 90th minute: Last throw of the dice from Ten Hag, who sends on debutant Malacia, Gramacho and Elanga to find the equaliser. Fulltime: Veltman welts a clearance most of the way to Altrincham and that's your lot. Sanchez erred to let United back into the match, failing to claim a left-wing corner. Fred was the deeper of the two and was errant in possession in front of the back four as Brighton turned the action in their favour during the early stages, while McTominay's capacity to discomfort the opposition was nullified by a yellow card for a challenge on the excellent Moises Caicedo that could easily have been a red. But once Albion had them on the run, United did not have any fundamentals of this style to fall back on and they crumbled. On paper, this is the 20-time champions of England losing to a team that has traditionally resided a good distance away from the top division.

"I thought we had an idea of how to attack and when we could we tried to press and put them under pressure. It took Brighton 30 minutes to break United in a spell where they were putting on most of the pressure. "We went into the game positive, we had a good preseason and it was the worst possible start to be 2-0 down at half-time at Old Trafford. Not good enough. "We started pretty the game well and on the front foot and as a team we had control of the game. It was a nightmare start to be 2-0 down at half-time." "We need to look at not letting that first goal set us back as much as it did.

Erik ten Hag's Premier League debut was far from a dream as Pascal Gross' brace led Brighton and Hove Albion past Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils couldn’t do anything with six corner kicks, but credit Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez for five saves in the clean sheet effort. Manchester United is off to Brentford for a 12:30pm ET Saturday matchup with the Bees, while Brighton will host Newcastle United for a 10am ET Saturday home opener. Brighton is well-spaced and was lethal on the counter, even if United did very little to limit the danger provided by the Seagulls.

Dicha esta salvedad, el club de Old Trafford recibe al Brighton en este primera fecha de la Premier League y Cristiano no formará parte del equipo titular. El Manchester United y Cristiano Ronaldo han sido algunos de los protagonistas prinicipales de estos últimos meses en el fútbol europeo. A su vez, el portugués fue sacado en el entretiempo del mencionado partido y posteriormente decidió marcharse del estadio sin dar previo aviso, hecho que generó tensión con su entrenador el cual confesó su malestara con la situación.

The Dutch manager's tenure at Old Trafford got off to a poor start with a 2–1 loss.

The offside flag was up against Ronaldo, but replays hinted he had stayed onside. United continued to push forward but never came close to an equalizer as Brighton held on for a first win at Old Trafford in the club’s history. United looked vulnerable in defense—with Pascal Gross scoring twice in the first half to put Brighton in control—and toothless in attack until Cristiano Ronaldo came on early in the second half.
