More turmoil for Man United and Tottenham but Nottingham Forest’s title challenge strengthens
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United’s season lurched further into turmoil Sunday after a 3-1 loss to Brighton in the Premier League.
Goals from Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter at Old Trafford consigned United to a 10th defeat in the league. Bruno Fernandes scored for United from the penalty spot.
It was a seventh defeat in 15 games overall under new head coach Ruben Amorim and highlighted the massive job the Portuguese has on his hands to revive the record 20-time English champion.
Tottenham’s woeful campaign also sunk to new depths with a 3-2 loss at relegation-fighting Everton, but Nottingham Forest’s unlikely title challenge goes from strength to strength after a 3-2 win against last-placed Southampton.
