Manchester United endured a painful 3-1 loss to Brighton, with Ruben Amorim’s struggles intensifying on a day when Old Trafford paid a somber tribute to club legend Denis Law, who passed away at the age of 84.
Amorim’s side had hoped to honor Law with a performance reminiscent of the thrilling football associated with the iconic striker’s era. Instead, they faltered, slipping to their sixth defeat in just 11 league matches since Amorim’s appointment as manager, following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal.
Currently sitting in 13th place, United are 10 points clear of the relegation zone but their woeful display on the pitch leaves them vulnerable to being dragged into a relegation battle.
Yankuba Minteh set the tone early with a goal for Brighton, and despite Bruno Fernandes’ equalizer from the penalty spot before the break, second-half strikes from Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter sealed United’s fate, leaving them in disarray.
