Manchester United’s problems compound after their shocking exit from the FA Cup following a 2-1 defeat to Brighton.
United’s problems persisted after the break, and former Red Devils striker Danny Welbeck doubled Brighton’s lead in the 64th minute, exploiting familiar defensive lapses. Benjamin Sesko pulled one back late on with an 85th-minute strike, but the deficit proved too great to overturn as Brighton secured a 2–1 victory, leaving the Old Trafford crowd in despair less than ten days after the dismissal of former Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim.
This defeat highlighted an already difficult period for United, after a shocking EFL Cup loss to Grimsby Town. These results expose how far standards have fallen at Old Trafford.

Off the pitch, uncertainty surrounding the search for a new manager has added to the instability. With no clear leadership or long-term vision in place, confidence within the team and among supporters continues to erode, raising concerns that United’s decline could become a prolonged crisis without swift and decisive action.
