Man Utd’s misery mounts after League Cup collapse against Brighton
Michael Carrick’s side were booed off the pitch after blowing a two-goal lead in a 3-2 defeat, slumping to their second successive home loss.
Manchester United suffered a heavy blow to their League Cup hopes after a heartbreaking 3-2 defeat against Brighton at Old Trafford on Wednesday. The Red Devils, led by interim boss Karl Carigg, had led 2-0 through goals from Shea Lacey and Mason Mount, but struggled to maintain their advantage. Brighton's Charalampos Kostoulas equalised before Maxim De Cuyper's late winner sealed the victory, leaving Carigg shell-shocked as United were booed off the pitch.
This defeat saw United lose three times in six games across all competitions, intensifying pressure on Carigg to turn the team's fortunes around. The loss also marked the first time in 50 years that United had conceded a two-goal lead at home.
