“He lost me when he substituted Hojlund out and played Bruno at center-back,” said a second.

In the center back position, Bruno Fernandes was. One more said, “I’m exhausted.

Man Utd fans couldn’t believe Bruno Fernandes was playing so deep

Before the Red Devils could lay a glove on the Seagulls, Brighton had United off the field and was comfortably ahead by three goals.

Young Hannibal Mejbri scored a fantastic goal for United, but Brighton had trouble adding a fourth. On Transfer Deadline Day, Ansu Fati, a player from Barcelona, landed on the South Coast and nearly brought them victory.

After dropping two of their first five Premier League contests, United is currently near the bottom of the standings.
