Woodwork saves Woodward! Man Utd are lucky against Brighton

Brighton hit the crossbar 5 times and could have defeated United but United were quite lucky today to get all 3 points. Brighton had 18 shots and 5 of those shots were on target, while United had 7 shots and 3 on target. Perhaps United were more clinical as the 3 shots of United led to 3 goals.


The performance of United was below par. There were many sloppy passes, weak defending, no pressing. It was almost as if the players were just strolling in the park. None of the defenders even tried to commit or stick a leg out to block Brighton's shots. They were not marking the Brighton forwards who had great opportunities to win the game


The only transfer of the season so far Van De Beek could not make any impact in the game because he did not have enough time to do that!


If United give the ball away and defend the same way against top teams like Liverpool and Man City, they are going to get punished! They need to improve a lot and fast to even get into the top 6 this season as there is a lot of competition for spots.
