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 experienced a setback in their League Cup campaign as they suffered a 3-2 defeat against Brighton at Old Trafford on Wednesday. The match saw Manchester United lead early on, with goals from Shea Lacey and Mason Mount just 10 minutes into the game. However, Brighton's resurgence saw them equalize through Charalampos Kostoulas and eventually win the match with a goal from Maxim De Cuyper.
The loss marked United's second successive home defeat, following their controversial 1-0 home defeat against Manchester City on Sunday, where a disallowed goal for Erling Haaland left them with only one win from their first four Premier League matches. Manager Michael Carrick, who had led United to third place last season as an interim boss, was under pressure to turn the team's fortunes around.
The loss put United under further scrutiny, with critics questioning the quality of their close-season transfer recruitment.
