There will be an inquest into both goals conceded by Manchester United at the Amex Stadium.
The Reds secored an equaliser through Amad Diallo but it wasn’t enough with Pedro netting the winner in stoppage time.
A 96th minute goal won the game for Brighton to prevent a first-ever Premier League draw between the two teams.
United can feel unlucky because had Alejandro Garnacho’s goal counted. That was turning point of the game.
Brighton go top of the league, as United have one win and one defeat at the start of the season.
Manchester United player ratings vs Brighton
Andre Onana
Distribution was better this week and helped Dalot on his way to creating a chance for Amad Diallo in the first half. Made a big tackle inside the box with a reckless tackle. 6
Noussair Mazraoui
Caught off for Welbeck’s opening but tidy for the most part. 5
Harry Maguire
Poor for Brighton’s opener. Other than, a solid display. Grew into the game after his mistake for the goal. 5
Lisandro Martinez
Good on the ball but needs to be more alert defensively. He was closest to Welbeck for the opening goal. 5
Diogo Dalot
Put it on a plate for Amad in the first half. It was worthy of an assist. Caught napping for Brighton’s winner. 5
Casemiro
Defensive liability. Not a smooth performance last week but he had more work to do. 5
Kobbie Mainoo
United didn’t get him on the ball enough. Looked dangerous when involved in build-up play. 5
Bruno Fernandes
Substituted before the end due to how he was playing. Still has as a surprise. 5
Amad Diallo
Poor in the first half, but grew into the game after the break. Deserved his goal but could have scored two. 6
Mason Mount
Unlucky to be hauled off at half-time. Great in the press, but needs to do more on the ball. 6
Marcus Rashford
Weakest player on the pitch. 3
Subs
Joshua Zirkzee
Misfortunate to touch the ball to prevent Garnacho’s goal for offside.
Alejandro Garnacho
Thought he made it 2-1 but Zirkzee was offside and got the final touch on the ball. Made a difference. 7
Scott McTominay
Made a positive impact after coming on. Not enough to win the game or secure a point, sadly. 6
Antony
Came on late. N/A
