Ten Hag blames three players after defeat to Brighton

Manchester United lost 2-1 to Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

United conceded to a first-half Danny Welbeck goal.

United levelled through Amad Diallo on the hour mark, and unluckily had a goal ruled out for offside ten minutes later.

United conceded a goal in stoppage time, which saw Joao Pedro left unmarked by Matthijs de Ligt to nod home the winner.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has now singled out three players for criticism.

Ten Hag was unhappy with the manner which his team conceded the stoppage-time goal, as he blamed three players who failed to prevent the cross that led to the goal.

“We didn’t stop the cross,” Ten Hag said. “There were three players who could have avoided this. [Adingra is a] right-footed player.

“Send him down the line, send him wide instead of letting him come in and let the cross.”
