Manchester United succumbed to a 3–1 Premier League defeat against Brighton in what was the home side's fourth defeat from their last five matches at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils were second best for much of this encounter and fell behind after just five minutes when Yankuba Minteh put Brighton in front, after Kaoru Mitoma squared the ball for the Gambian winger to tap into an empty net.
United captain Bruno Fernandes scored an equalizer in the 23rd minute, converting a penalty after Joshua Zirkzee was brought down in the penalty area.
The home side was granted a reprieve shortly after the interval when João Pedro had a goal disallowed for the visitors, but Brighton eventually restored their lead when Mitoma poked in Minteh's superb in-swinging cross.
Substitute Georginio Rutter then ensured Brighton sealed their sixth victory in seven matches against the Red Devils with the visitors' third, tapping in from close range after United goalkeeper André Onana calamitously spilt a cross from the right.
