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.
