The Red Devils were played off the park by the Seagulls, to leave them 13th in the Premier League table after three defeats in their opening five games. Saturday's match was all but done within 70 minutes, with Brighton going 3-0 up over their hosts. Goals from Danny Welbeck, Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro secured all three points for the visitors and leave United embarrassed. Mejbri did come on to score with 17 minutes left, but the Red Devils were unable to overturn the remaining two-goal deficit. It was an impressive strike from the academy product, firing in from outside the box. And his cameo at Old Trafford pleased Ten Hag on a difficult day, with the Dutchman also highlighting the performances of the other trio. "He did what we brought him [on] for, having an impact and bringing energy. He did it," Ten Hag said of Mejbri. "I think there were more individuals, like Diogo Dalot, [who] played very well, and Marcus Rashford had moments. "Rasmus Hojlund was a threat all the time. We had some good players on the pitch. We were unlucky, unfortunate. We didn't get what we were looking for and that was the result." HAVE YOUR SAY! What should be Manchester United's starting line-up against Bayern Munich? Comment below. Ten Hag surprisingly opted to substitute Hojlund just after the hour mark, on what was the Dane's full debut for United. That decision was met by boos from the home crowd, with Anthony Martial coming on, though Ten Hag was not concerned by that reaction. 'I think it was positive, you see that the fans in the first moment in Old Trafford, the reception for him was great, I think he performed very well. So I think it's good that they give hi){kind=link}
