Erik ten Hag hails 3 Manchester United players for their brilliant performance in abysmal defeat to Brighton

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has hailed Diogo Dalot, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund for their brilliant performance in United’s defeat against Brighton.

Despite the 3-1 defeat, Ten Hag believes the trio had a good game.

“Diogo [Dalot] played very well, [Marcus] Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund was a threat,” said Erik ten Hag in his post-match interview.

“There were good players on the pitch, but we didn’t get the result we wanted.”

The match result means United have now recorded three consecutive defeats against Brighton & Hove Albion in our last 3 matches against them.

The result leaves United trailing a staggering nine points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.
