Man Utd 1 Brighton 2 LIVE RESULT: Cristiano Ronaldo can’t fire United to draw as Seagulls clinch historic win – reaction
BRIGHTON scored their first EVER win at Old Trafford to ruin the start to Manchester United’s season.
Cristiano Ronaldo came off the bench to try and save Erik ten Hag’s side from an embarrassing defeat at home, but he could not do the job.
Pascal Gross’ double stunned the Theatre of Dreams as familiar frailties continued from last season for United.
Danny Welbeck’s perfectly-timed run beat the offside trap and the former United striker squared across the box for Gross to ghost in at the far post for a tap-in.
Then a well-worked second goal saw David de Gea spill the ball straight into Gross’ path for an easy chance.
